      PhD Programmes in Environmental Sciences

      As an environmental sciences student, a person studies how technology impacts the environment. In addition, a focus is put on learning about how humans affect the environment and how to solve issues and threats towards the environment due to human activities.

      There are several institutions for higher learning located throughout Puerto Rico, with The University of Puerto Rico being the oldest and largest. As a territory of the United States, citizens may have access to additional opportunities for education.

      The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
