BA/BS in Ecology, Evolution, Systematics, and Population Biology

Ecology and Evolutionary Biology examines how organisms interact with their surroundings and how evolution shapes and changes them. Students work on problems tied to conservation, restoration and management of ecosystems. The curriculum is broad, with options to specialize in genetics, molecular topics, fieldwork and the interpretation of ecological and evolutionary data through classroom, laboratory and field experiences. Undergraduate research is available through paid work, research credits and fellowships. A study abroad option in the Bahamas is highlighted, and the department provides a learning center, advising and transfer equivalencies. Students study at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan, where undergraduate research, Enterprise project teams and campus activities extend learning beyond the classroom. Tuition, scholarships and admission requirements are published separately by the university. The university website lists advisors, course outlines and degree audits so that applicants can plan their studies in advance and compare options.
