Biological Sciences – Concentration in Ecology and Environmental Biology

Career Opportunities: Ecology • Field Technician • Naturalist • Environmental Consulting • and more

Life is filled with change and interaction: organisms interact with other organisms of the same and different species, populations and communities are established and go extinct, and all living things must interact with the physical environment.  Ecology and Environmental Biology students are preparing for careers where they will help to monitor, study and understand how the world works  by learning specific principles, skills and techniques for ecology and field biology.

Students interested in environmental research in an academic setting or with state or federal agencies should consider this concentration.  Those interested in the growing fields of environmentally responsible green industry and technology may also find this concentration appealing.

* (students must earn a C or better in all required and elective courses)
