Biology Major: Ecology and Evolution
As a biology major in the ecology and evolution track, you will study the vital processes of all organisms and the environments in which they flourish. The ecology and evolution track focuses on the relations of organisms with each other and their physical surroundings and how those relations are shaped and changed over time.
sample courses:
This course examines animal behavior from an evolutionary perspective and explores the relationships between animal behavior, ecology, and evolution.
