(5) EBS 265 may be taken to fulfill either the Research
Design or Transportation Models/Quantitative Methods
requirement, but cannot be counted both places.
Credit will be allowed for only one of EBS 265, PLS
(AGR) 205, and STA 205, regardless of where EBS
265 is counted.
(6) Future modeling courses may include energy
systems modeling, vehicle simulation, overview of
transportation models.
(7) Students are required to enroll in the weekly ITS
Seminar (TTP 281) during the first two years of their
program.
(8) The Transportation Orientation seminar (TTP 282)
is a one-unit course for incoming students and other
interested students that provides an orientation to the
transportation field with presentations by faculty
members on different transportation topics each week.
This seminar is taught in the fall quarter.
TTP Degree Requirements
MS students are required to complete 36 total units.
For students choosing the thesis option, 6 of those
units are for thesis research. For students choosing
the exam option, all 36 of those units are for courses.
MS students must complete 6 core courses. Beyond
the core requirements, students may choose electives
from the approved list of courses for the TTP program.
At least 2/3 of all credits must be at the graduate level.
PhD students are required to complete 54 total units
(including units completed toward a relevant MS). PhD
students must complete 7 core courses, as well as at
least three additional technology or policy courses in
the chosen track and one additional course in the
alternate track. As a part of their three policy electives,
policy students are encouraged to complete one policy
process course and one policy evaluation course.
Beyond the core requirements, students may choose
electives the approved list of courses for the TTP
program. At least 2/3 of all credits must be at the
