The Ph.D. degree in Ecology and Evolutionary biology is a research degree centered around the production of a major piece of original research - the dissertation. Recipients of the Ph.D. degree generally teach and conduct research in a university setting or conduct research in private or government institutions. Students form an advisory committee of faculty to help the student design a research program and choose appropriate courses. The student's dissertation committee administers a comprehensive exam consisting of a written research proposal on the dissertation topic, a formal presentation summarizing the student's research progress, and an oral examination about the student's research. The dissertation committee also administers a final examination upon completion of the dissertation, the culmination of typically five or more years of study.
