Courses

Strong mentoring is provided by an advisory committee of 3-4 faculty, who are assembled to match the student, and who work with the student to develop a customized curriculum, independent research plan, and professional development program. We also encourage and facilitate bottom-up learning opportunities, which includes courses, seminars, and working groups that are designed and led by graduate students.

All EEES students take two Foundations courses, two methods courses, participate in mentored teaching experiences, participate in a common weekly research colloquium, and participate in seminars and discussions with visiting scientists. Most students also take a few other electives from an evolving list of options, which can include short courses taught elsewhere. More on curriculum within EEES Guidelines for Ph.D. Program.
