EEC 501, 502, 528, 534, 535, 576, 602, 624, 628, 630, 634,676 and 699 are required courses. You can visit the Courses link on the left side of the page to see a list of the courses offered. Additional courses may be elected from appropriate offerings in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, as well as from other disciplines including Engineering, Geography, Natural Resource Science, Oceanography, Mathematics, Political Science, Statistics, Computer Science, and Management Science. A dissertation is written on a problem involving environmental and natural resources or in an associated industry. A dissertation defense is required. A Ph.D. qualifying examination is required of students admitted without the M.S. degree in a related field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least 34 credits must be taken at URI (see see Graduate School Manual [GSM] 7.54). For students who have received the master\u2019s degree in the same field of study or in a closely related field, all coursework beyond the master\u2019s degree towards the doctorate must be at the 500 or 600 level. For students without a master\u2019s degree who enroll in a doctoral program, but who complete a master\u2019s degree along the way to the doctorate, 400-level courses may be applied only to the master\u2019s degree Program of Study. For doctoral students who do not have a master\u2019s degree, and who do not earn a master\u2019s degree along the way to the doctorate, up to 12 credits of 400-level courses may be applied to the doctoral Program of Study (GSM 9.21).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full-time students not on an assistantship are required to carry a course load of 9 \u2013 15 credits. The usual semester course load for students not on an assistantship is 12 credits. A normal load is 9 credits for a student on an assistantship; 6 credits is the minimum for full-time students on assistantships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit transfer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of credits a student can transfer depends on whether the student has a master\u2019s degree in the same or closely related area and whether the degree was granted by URI or an outside institution.
