Conservation Biology is an interdisciplinary science major that equips students with comprehensive training in biological, ecological, and related conservation-focused fields. The curriculum prioritizes foundational knowledge in natural history, organismal biology, ecological relationships, and hands-on field studies. Designed with adaptability in mind, the program offers diverse options for students to customize their academic path according to individual interests. This major particularly suits self-directed learners who can craft a curriculum leveraging both fundamental knowledge and specialized focus areas, while benefiting from the wide-ranging opportunities of a liberal arts and sciences degree. The program uniquely attracts students devoted to conservation biology - whether their interests lean toward social sciences or theoretical ecology - and prepares them to engage as knowledgeable stewards of the natural environment.
