专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Ecology and Evolution major introduces students to the processes that result in the diversity and dynamics of ecological communities, and the evolutionary principles that unify the biological sciences. The major emphasizes opportunities for independent studies with professors and their graduate students in both laboratory and field research. Many students who choose to major in Ecology and Evolution are keenly interested in some field of natural history, and plan to continue their studies in graduate school.

UCSB's Ecology and Evolution major is one of the strongest and most diverse programs in the country. All students interested in any area of the biological sciences, including Ecology and Evolution, enter UCSB as a pre-biological sciences major. Pre-biology majors share a common core curriculum, typically completed during the freshman and sophomore years, consisting of introductory biology with laboratory, general chemistry with laboratory, mathematics (calculus and statistics), physics with laboratory, and for many of the majors, an additional 2-3 terms of organic chemistry with laboratory. The Ecology and Evolution major does not require organic chemistry.

After completion of key preparatory coursework, students may petition to declare the full major. The Ecology and Evolution major requires completion of 48 upper-division quarter units in biological sciences. These include courses in molecular genetics, general or population genetics, plant and animal ecology, and evolution. The remaining units must include courses in plant or animal physiology, diversity and systematics of plants and animals, and the physical environment.

Careers in Ecology and Evolution

The Ecology and Evolution major prepares students for graduate study at any major university. The program's quality ensures that a large proportion of students are admitted to the graduate program of their choice. Students desiring immediate career entry find opportunities with local, state, and federal agencies, environmental assessment firms, and privately-funded environmental and conservation organizations.

Students interested in teaching and conducting research at the university should plan to complete the PhD degree. Students interested in teaching at the community college should pursue graduate work at least through the master's degree. Teaching at the junior or senior high school level requires the California single subject teaching credential. Students considering this last option should discuss their plans with the credential advisor in UCSB's Graduate School of Education early in their academic careers.
