    PhD Programs in Sustainable Development

    Sustainable development is a type of economic development that involves planning for business growth while taking care to preserve natural resources. A primary goal of those studying the field is to learn how to meet today’s economic demands without compromising the availability of resources moving forward.  

    Europe is, by convention, one of the world's seven continents. Comprising the western most point of Eurasia, Europe is usually divided from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas, and the waterways connecting the Black and Aegean Seas.

    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.
