Ecology and evolutionary biology deals with the interactions of organisms with one another and with their physical environment, and with the processes through which these interactions have developed and continue to change through time. The curriculum will provide students with an understanding of ecological interactions and evolutionary processes that are fundamental to the operation of the natural world. The scope of this program ranges from the molecular level, to individual organisms, to populations, communities, and ecosystems. The program offers career opportunities in academia, industry, governmental and non-governmental agencies that are concerned with the importance and integrity of natural systems, and in education at all levels.

Students wishing to emphasize study in this area elect to major in biological sciences with a concentration in ecology and evolutionary biology. See the description of the major and concentration under Division of Biology for requirements.
