About the Program
This major investigates how organisms interact with their physical environment and other organisms, from an evolutionary perspective. Ecologists’ work includes research and/or teaching involving population genetics and evolution, adaptive strategies for survival, the nature of populations, and community ecology. Ecologists also offer technical services in connection with environmental impact decisions and regional planning, and environmental education at various levels as teacher, naturalist, or journalist. Common career paths for undergraduate students include graduate study leading to academic positions (research and teaching in small colleges and major universities), technical positions in industry (mostly dealing with environmental assessment), and employment in state and federal environmental agencies.

Note
120 semester credits required for Bachelor of Science degree. 2.0 Graduation GPA required for Bachelor of Science degree. Degree Requirements
The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements. Foreign Language Courses
Foreign Language proficiency requirements vary by program. For acceptable languages and proficiency levels, see your advisor: American Sign Language, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, (ancient) Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish Critical Course
The ♦ course is considered critical. A Critical Course is one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Expired Course
Any course without a link to its description is one that has been expired. However, this course could fulfill the degree requirement historically. |
