Human Ecology

Since 1990, COA has offered the Master of Philosophy in human ecology degree. This program is intended both for COA graduates who want to extend the type of work begun as undergraduates and for students from elsewhere who want to add a human-ecological focus to their research. The MPhil is designed as a two-year program, involving nine credits of coursework and nine credits of thesis research.
