Bachelor degrees in Ecology: A program that focuses on the scientific study of the relationships and interactions of small-scale biological systems, such as organisms, to each other, to complex and whole systems, and to the physical and other non-biological aspects of their environments. Includes instruction in biogeochemistry; landscape and/or marine/aquatic dynamics; decomposition; global and regional elemental budgets; biotic and abiotic regulation of nutrient cycles; ecophysiology; ecosystem resilience, disturbance, and succession; community and habitat dynamics; organismal interactions (co-evolution, competition, predation); paleoecology, and evolutionary ecology.

Students entering this Program of Study learn that ecology is the study of the complex interrelationships of organisms and environments, while evolutionary biology is the study of the history of these relationships. Ecologists study interactions of organisms and environment and the consequences of interactions at the individual, population, community and ecosystem levels. The study of ecology has greatly enhanced our understanding of the functioning... |
