The Ecology Concentration offers a solid foundation in core principles, with specialized instruction in advanced upper-level classes. The program focuses on practical learning through lab work and field studies. Those choosing the Ecology Concentration will take classes covering broad ecological concepts, plant ecosystems, wildlife behavior, biodiversity preservation, and evolutionary processes.
Biology majors can further their education through professional programs or graduate studies in varied disciplines including organismal biology, cellular biology, plant sciences, chemical biology, heredity studies, behavioral genetics, environmental science, microbial studies, and brain science. Those not pursuing advanced degrees can work as lab technicians or research associates in drug development companies, medical facilities, government research centers, or ecological consulting firms. Teaching positions also abound for science-trained educators, with certification options available for those wishing to instruct at K-12 levels.
