Ecology Minor

Ecology is the study of the interactions among organisms, and the relationship between organisms and their environment. Through foundational biology courses (BIO101 and BIO102), students demonstrate the scientific method by designing experiments, analyzing data, and evaluating and interpreting results. In Ecology (BIO201), students build upon these skills and apply the scientific method to ecological systems. Through additional elective courses, students expand their content knowledge and ecological skill-set within areas of specific interest.
