SDSU / UC Davis Ecology Joint Doctoral Program
Students will be provided with an environment of excellence in ecology research, teaching, and mentoring. The advantages of this joint program are that students benefit from both SDSU and UC Davis advisors and mentors as well as having access to nearly all major biomes of California. Examples of specialized electives include courses such as theoretical ecology, human ecology, and physical-chemical ecology. Students spend their first year at SDSU with their advisor for preparation of a thesis proposal. The student then moves to UC Davis for further course work and preparation for the Qualifying Examination.
