    Biology - Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology

    About

    In Appalachian's Biology (BS) - Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology degree (affectionately called "Triple E"), students examine the characteristics of ecosystems, their evolution and the greater environment. The university's location puts students in an area with great biodiversity, where they can see and study many phenomena they learn about in class or in Appalachian's research facilities.

    Students work closely with Appalachian's outstanding Environmental Science program to take advantage of all that Appalachian has to offer. Students who choose to study Triple E are interested in outdoor science and prepare for careers or graduate studies.

    All biology students may apply to the biology honors program which includes two research courses and an honors thesis.
