课程介绍：
In this program students develop a specific program of courses, seminars, laboratory research, and independent reading tailored to the student’s interests, background, and goals. There are normally no foreign language requirements. All first-year students carry out two research rotations. In addition, during their first two years of study, graduate students must enroll in a minimum of three additional graduate-level courses (numbered 500 and above). Teaching experience is regarded as an integral part of the graduate training program. All students are required to teach three courses, normally at the TF 3 level, during their first two years of study. In addition to all other requirements, students must successfully complete E and EB 545b, Problems in Bioethics/Ethics Course for Advanced Topics, prior to the end of their first year of study. By the middle of the fourth term of study, each student organizes a formal pre-prospectus consultative meeting with his/her advisory committee to discuss the planned dissertation research. Before the beginning of the fifth term, students present and defend their planned dissertation research at a prospectus meeting, at which the department determines the viability and appropriateness of the student’s Ph.D. proposal. A successful prospectus meeting and completion of course requirements result in admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. The remaining requirements include completion, presentation, and successful defense of the dissertation, and submission of copies of the dissertation to the Graduate School and to the Kline Science Library.
- 国际学生入学要求：
Students should have had training in one of the following fields: biology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, statistics, and/or geology. Candidates are selected, regardless of their major, based on overall preparation for a career in research in ecology and evolutionary biology. Some, planning for careers in applied fields, may have prepared with courses in public policy, economics, and agriculture. They should have a TOEFL score of at least 100 on the internet-based test, a PTE Academic score of at least 70, or an IELTS score of at least 7. There is no minimum score for GRE or GMAT.
