Program Overview

The Ecology and Conservation program equips students with the knowledge and skills to address ecological questions and conservation issues both locally and globally. Field-based courses provide hands-on experience, while taking advantage of the unique habitats and organisms found within the Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion, a recognized area for biological diversity. The comprehensive curriculum also encompasses quantitative skills, conservation science, courses in organismal biology, and a wide variety of upper-division electives that students can tailor to their interests. All students complete a mentored research-based capstone project, enabling them to conduct scientific studies that answer ecological questions and propose conservation solutions. Faculty advisors for the Ecology and Conservation program prioritize one-on-one advising to help students pursue their individual career goals, ranging from pursuing advanced degrees in ecology, to thriving in careers with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, or business entities.

Learning objectives for the Ecology and Conservation major:

  • Students will understand the processes shaping physical environments and their impact on organism-environment interactions.
  • Students will become accomplished naturalists who effectively read landscapes, identify organisms, and explain ecological processes.
  • Students will develop methodological and analytical expertise, enabling them to conduct observational, experimental, and computational studies that answer ecological questions and resolve conservation issues.
  • Students will effectively communicate their scientific knowledge within social, political, and economic contexts.
