Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Designated Emphasis
Introduction
Requirements
To receive a designated emphasis in ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB), graduate students must complete the following requirements in addition to the degree requirements for the doctorate in their home department:
Committee Composition and Departmental Approvals
1. Identify a designated faculty advisor from among the faculty of the EEB department, who commits to serve on the qualifying examination committee and on the Ph.D. dissertation reading committee.
2. Once a designated faculty advisor has been identified, file intent to complete the designated emphasis in EEB with the EEB department graduate program coordinator.
Course Requirements
Students are required to complete at least 20 credits of EEB coursework. Courses taken to fulfill program requirements within the home department will not count toward the designated emphasis program's required coursework.
Take the following EEB core courses (required for all EEB graduate students):
Enroll in the following course and attend all EEB Department seminars for one quarter:

Enroll in the following course corresponding to their EEB faculty advisor and attend their laboratory group seminars for one quarter:
Take at least two other EEB graduate courses.
