Applied Ecology
The applied ecology concentration focuses on problem-solving techniques applied to current ecological issues. The diversity of the earth’s living species in both natural and managed ecosystems offers students a variety of study areas within applied ecology, including forest ecology and management, fisheries and wildlife management, soil and watershed management, endangered species, and wetlands. Courses should be selected in consultation with a faculty advisor.
