Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Graduate Program
Addressing Environmental Challenges
The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) graduate program teaches students how organisms interact with their environment and evolve over time, focusing on change, adaptation, and the forces shaping life on Earth. Our program equips graduates to address critical global challenges like biodiversity loss, climate change impacts, and ecosystem management through research, monitoring, and conservation efforts.
Academics
Our interdisciplinary program provides students with opportunities to train and conduct research in an area of interest. Our graduates are qualified to pursue basic and applied research careers in academia, government, and industry.
My PhD in EEB took me to the next level as a scientist studying biodiversity. I had documented the biodiversity of plant-pollinator interactions before, and the EEB program taught me to think about these interactions at different scales. I ended up running several experiments testing what affects these interactions and the ecological functions that follow in grassland environments.
