Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology

Within the Biological Sciences, studies of ecology, evolution, and organismal biology are essential in understanding the complex relationships of life on Earth. From the interactions between organisms and their environment to the interrelationships of species; from the diversity of life to the structure of individual organims, EEOB offers a variety of ways to examine life on our world.

The EEOB Department offers several undergraduate majors with other departments. Students interested in the areas of ecology, evolution, and organismal biology should major in Biology, Environmental Science, or Genetics. The Biology, Environmental Science, and Genetic majors prepare students for a wide range of careers in biological sciences. Some of these include conservation of natural resources and biodiversity, human and veterinary medicine, and life science education. These majors are also excellent preparation for graduate study in systematics, ecology, biological diversity, physiology, and related fields.
