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, health sciences, 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.
VolsTeach
Students pursuing a B.S. degree in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are eligible to participate in the University’s VolsTeach program (http://volsteach.utk.edu/), which permits students to simultaneously complete a major in mathematics or science and receive secondary education teaching licensure with the 4-year undergraduate degree program through completion of a VolsTeach minor. For more information about VolsTeach, including advising associated with teaching licensure requirements, contact the Center for Enhancing Education in Mathematics and Science (100 Greve Hall).
