The ecology major emphasizes the interaction of organisms with their environment. You will start with basic background coursework in biology including introductory biology, botany or zoology, and genetics or evolution. From there you’ll go on through general ecology and into a number of exciting options allowing you to specialize in a variety of areas from aquatic to terrestrial to theoretical.
The program is supported by professional ecologists in departments across campus specializing in sub-disciplines such as wildlife ecology, plant and forest ecology, wetlands ecology, aquatic ecology, ecosystem ecology, biogeochemical cycling, ornithology, animal behavior and conservation biology.
Participation in a variety of undergraduate research projects with faculty mentorship is encouraged, taking you into the Adirondack Mountains, Lake Champlain and our Ecosystem Studies Field Lab at Miner Institute — an 8,000 acre field site where you can pursue field-oriented courses in field ecology, forest ecology and management, soils, or wildlife ecology and management.
