G-MSC-PHD - Marine Science and Conservation - PhD

The Division of Marine Science and Conservation, one of three academic units in the Nicholas School of the Environment, offers graduate study for students wishing to earn the PhD in marine science and conservation. Doctoral students emphasize research as a major part of their degree programs. It is designed to prepare students for careers in university teaching and research or outside of the university involving the application of science to policymaking. The program is designed to ensure that students receive detailed training in either natural or social science while, at the same time, are able to synthesize information from both fields. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact individual faculty members with whom they wish to work prior to applying to The Graduate School.
