The minor in Applied Ecology is intended for students interested in applying ecological concepts and principles to solving real-world problems. Students with expertise in applied ecology will be well equipped to address local and global challenges associated with a wide variety of important issues such as water quantity and quality, natural resource management, environmental conservation and restoration, climate change, and maintenance of biodiversity. To receive a minor in Applied Ecology students will be required to complete challenging courses and an in-depth research experience.
For admission, students should first complete BIO 181 Introductory Biology: Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity and PB 360 Ecology with letter grades of C-. To be admitted to the program, a student must have a GPA of at least 2.0. Application for admission to any University minor program is now available via MyPack Portal. Admission will be based upon the student's academic record, and in most cases no longer requires departmental review. Go to Add a Minor to apply.
