Program Overview
The major in ecology provides students with the opportunity to intensively explore current diverse topics such as biodiversity, aquatic resources, environmental pollution, toxicology, invasive species, natural resource conservation, and sustainability; and through unique laboratory and field experiences they will learn state of the art techniques in experimental methodologies for monitoring, sampling, and accessing ecosystems. The program of study will provide excellent preparation for those pursuing advanced degrees or employment in ecology and other environmental fields. To enhance professional development and employment potential, students are encouraged to obtain specialized training by participating in basic and applied research in various areas of ecology such as plant physiology and genetics, aquatic and marine ecology, wildlife biology, and many more focused topics.
