This program is designed to provide candidates in the EEB Ph.D. program or other GSAS natural or social sciences programs with a strong foundation in those social sciences that most enable them to contribute, as scientists, to the formulation of environmental policy. While not required, Ph.D. students in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are encouraged to complete this program.
Social science students enrolled in a post-graduate degree program at SIPA, the Law School, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences or other professional schools at Columbia, who wish to obtain a stronger background in biology, may pursue a Certificate in Conservation Biology.
