The environmental and organismal biology major provides a comprehensive background for students with career interests in animal health, animal and plant ecology and conservation, environmental health, biomonitoring, environmental education, and other careers that involve managing and studying interactions between organisms and their environment. Students begin with foundational courses in introductory biology, math, and chemistry. They proceed to advanced lecture and lab courses in cell biology, ecology, genetics, and evolutionary biology exploring how these concepts influence biological diversity. As a part of this major, students are encouraged to earn course credit and gain experience doing hands-on research with a faculty mentor.
This major has two concentrations so that students can individualize their education based on specific interests and goals.
The completion of a minor is optional for this major.
