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

The Ecology track within Saint Leo University's biology major teaches by direct experience in the environment. Classes may meet on the campus lake, in nearby parks and preserves, or on the water to study marine life. Field trips extend beyond Florida, and students have studied in Latin America, the Galapagos, and Australia. Undergraduate research with faculty has included restoring oyster reefs, monitoring mangroves, and assessing rain forests. The track fits students who want a demanding science program and care about protecting the natural world. It is offered on campus. Saint Leo lists the expected time to complete as 4 years, with 120 credit hours in the program. Prospective students can request information, speak with the admissions team, or submit an application through the university website to learn how to get started.
