Students complete a two-quarter sequence of core courses in ecological theory and its applications, then choose a more specialized area to complete their degree requirements. Area specializations include agricultural ecology, conservation ecology, ecosystems and landscape ecology, ecotoxicology, environmental policy analysis, human ecology, integrative ecology, marine ecology, physiological ecology, and restoration ecology. Opportunities for research in a variety of environments are available. Students whose interests are not met by existing specialization areas may develop their own with the integrative ecology option.

This program is an interdisciplinary Graduate Group.
