• The program builds upon a strong core of Ecology courses that are shared with the existing Bachelor of Science degree and adds courses that allow students to consider human dimensions of ecological issues and become better equipped to synthesize and communicate challenges and solutions.Ecology, the study of organisms and their environment, is an interdisciplinary science. There is a growing need to understand how organisms and the environment interact and to examine the influence of humans on the earth and its biodiversity.
  • Students may elect to expand their experience through study abroad programs, internships with the Institute of Ecology or other sponsors, or independent research opportunities. These activities are strongly encouraged but are not required for the degree.
