Earth, Ecosystem, and Ecological Sciences Program
In 1993, Dartmouth initiated an interdisciplinary graduate environmental
science program called the Earth, Ecosystem and Ecological Sciences Program
(EEES). In this program, the PhD degree is offered through either the Department of Biological Sciences
or the Department of
Earth Sciences. However, the EEES program allows students a number of
multidisciplinary experiences within the environmental sciences. EEES fellows
take a number of courses in their home department as well as interdisciplinary
EEES courses offered through collaborations among faculty in Ecological
Sciences, Earth Sciences and the Environmental Sciences Program. The program
also offers seminars by distinguished visiting lecturers, an annual research
retreat and multidisciplinary research opportunities.
Located in rural New England, Dartmouth College provides faculty and
students with a rich array of natural areas for environmental research. Within
a short distance of campus are an abundance of important forest, aquatic and
marine habitats. Together with established field sites around the globe (e.g.
Costa Rica, Jamaica, Indonesia, Antarctica, Canada, the Himalayas), and well
equipped laboratory, computer and library facilities on campus, these resources
provide excellent opportunities for graduate education and research in the
environmental sciences.
EEES Fellowships are available for qualified students. The EEES fellowship
is similar to other Dartmouth Graduate Fellowships in that it pays tuition and
a stipend, normally for four to five years. Responsibilities are slightly
different than regular departmental teaching assistantships in that all efforts
are made to have EEES Fellows participate in a number of environmental science
courses as well as specialty courses within the Department of Earth Sciences
and Biological Sciences. Research Fellowships are available within EEES.
Application for admission is handled through either Biological Sciences or
Earth Sciences; applicants should indicate their interest in EEES on the
application. Applications to Earth Sciences are due January 15. Applications to
Biological Sciences are due February 1, and all academic programs begin in the
fall.
