The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (E&EB) provides comprehensive training in biological sciences, encompassing topics from molecular and cellular levels to entire organisms, ecosystems, and the evolutionary mechanisms influencing them. Students can pursue either a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. The B.S. track prepares students for advanced studies in ecology, evolutionary biology, related biological fields, environmental science, or professional programs like medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine. The B.A. program caters to those seeking a broader liberal arts education with a focus on ecology, evolution, and biodiversity, without plans for graduate studies in the field, or for students pursuing a dual major. Both programs share foundational prerequisites, introductory coursework, and core curriculum but vary in elective options and senior-year requirements.
