Ecology plays a vital role in comprehending and regulating humanity's impact on Earth. Researchers in this field aim to decipher the origins and outcomes of biological diversity across all scales, uncovering fundamental principles that dictate transformation and stability in natural ecosystems.
Your studies will focus on organisms within their surrounding physical and biological contexts:
The physical surroundings encompass soil, water, and atmospheric conditions.
The biological context involves interactions between living organisms.
Through hands-on laboratory work and field studies, you'll acquire essential expertise for careers in environmental conservation and resource management.
To maximize opportunities for prospective students, we typically limit consideration to two applications within the College of Science and Engineering.
For Biological Sciences applicants specifically, we recommend choosing just one program in this discipline, allowing your second application to be used for other Science and Engineering offerings.
