Ecology is the study of the interactions between living organisms and their environment.
These interactions, in turn, affect the distribution and abundance of organisms. Ecologists study a tremendous variety of organisms and environments from microorganisms in the soil or a puddle of water to plants and animals in a forest or ocean. Since human activity often has a detrimental impact on the natural world, ecologists are often involved in identifying and finding solutions to environmental problems. Students in the EEB concentration earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. EEB students can take a variety of courses dealing with ecology and the environment.
