About this programme

The graduate program in Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology (EEOB) is intended for highly qualified students who plan to pursue a career that includes research and/or teaching in areas of ecology, evolution, and organismal biology. We tailor our training programs to meet each student's needs and interests, providing a customized curriculum that supports their own intellectual growth and goals. All students are expected to attain proficiency in ecological and evolutionary theory, quantitative research methods, statistical analysis, writing, and oral presentation. Depending on the student's interests, they may also be expected to demonstrate proficiency in other areas such as functional morphology or genetics and genomics. This proficiency may be attained through coursework, seminars, independent reading, and laboratory and field programs.
