The Harvard Environmental Economics Program (HEEP) does not grant degrees.
Rather, students pursue a Ph.D. degree in Economics, Political Economy
and Government, Public Policy, or Health Policy. Those whose dissertation
interests focus on environmental and natural resource economics
are invited to become Pre-Doctoral Fellows of HEEP.
If you are interesting in pursuing a
Ph.D. degree at Harvard focused on environmental economics, we encourage
you to contact one or more of the following doctoral programs directly.
|
Economics
The Economics Ph.D. program is the most traditional route
for students interested in environmental economics. It is
recommended for those applicants who wish to pursue an academic
career in an economics department. It is one possible path
for students who desire academic positions in professional
schools or research positions in national or international
agencies and research centers. The program is housed in the
Department of Economics at the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences. For admissions requirements and general program
information see the Department of Economics’
website. For admissions materials, please contact the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences.

Health Policy
The Health Policy Ph.D. program is co-sponsored by the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences, the Kennedy School of Government,
the Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard School of Public
Health. Students interested in environmental economics should
consider the “Economics” track of the program. This program
is recommended for students with a particular interest in
the intersection of health and environmental policy and who
desire academic and/or research careers in health policy.
For more information on the Health Policy program and for
admissions requirements please see the Health Policy website. For
admissions materials contact the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Political Economy and Government
The Political Economy and Government (PEG) program is co-sponsored
by the Department of Economics and the Department of Government
in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Kennedy
School of Government. The PEG program is appropriate for
the select group of students whose breadth of academic interests
is not well served by doctoral studies confined to economics,
political science, or public policy. The program is recommended
for students whose research interests span the intersection
of economics and political science and who desire academic
careers in professional schools or research careers with national
or international agencies and research centers. For more
information on the PEG program and for admissions requirements
please see the Kennedy
School’s Doctoral Programs website. For admissions materials
contact the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Public Policy
The Ph.D. in Public Policy is granted by the Graduate School
of Arts and Sciences and administered by the Kennedy School
of Government. This program is recommended for students who
are interested in environmental economics as applied to the
policy world and whose career goals include academic careers
in professional schools, research positions in national or
international agencies and research centers, or professional
positions of various kinds in policy organizations. For more
information on the Public Policy program and for admissions
requirements and materials please see the Kennedy
School’s Doctoral Programs website.
