PhD Careers
Many graduates will pursue academic careers and jobs in interdisciplinary graduate and undergraduate programs with a focus on policy and the environment, as well as in the more traditional social science disciplines. Others will choose nonacademic positions, taking leadership roles in government ministries in the United States and throughout the world; working on environmental protection and sustainable development programs; in international institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank; in private firms engaged in large-scale development projects; or in consulting firms analyzing development issues for private and public clients.
