Department of Botany and Department of Zoology, College of Biological Science.
The program provides a solid foundation in the principles of ecology, and further training in both pure and applied aspects of ecology. After the fourth semester, the student may choose to enter 1 of 3 areas of emphasis, or to design a course package that meets his/her own specific ecological interests (General Ecology). The program offers preparation for careers in conservation, resource management, ecological consulting, or nature interpretation; or for graduate training and research in fundamental ecology. This major qualifies students for post-graduate work in the environmental sciences, and provides a sound science background for students wishing to pursue careers in teaching, government service or the private sector. Admission criteria are those established by the University and Program Committee. A minimum total of [20.00] credits is required to complete the major.
A minimum of [3.00] from six courses chosen from the area-of-emphasis-specific courses, plus [1.50] additional science credits. Of these 9 courses, at least [3.50] from 7 courses must be at the 300 or 400 level.
