Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology BS

The B.S. major in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology explores the evolutionary origins of organisms and how they survive and reproduce in their changing habitats. Classes in this major examine the morphological and physiological adaptations of animals, plants, fungi, algae, and microorganisms in a changing world, the ecological relationships of organisms from the individual to the global scale, and the mechanisms that drive evolutionary change. Together, these experiences will prepare students for graduate school as well as careers in local, state, and federal agencies, academia, environmental assessment firms, wildlife or natural land management, and/or conservation organizations. The degree program requires 120 credit hours.
