Students interested in visiting the campus, talking to prospective faculty advisors, graduate students in the GGE, and other members of the Davis and Ecology community are encouraged to do so at any time of the year. Visits for prospective students are encouraged in the fall, to ensure sufficient time to use advice and information obtained during the visit in the application process. Only very limited funds are available through the GGE at this time to assist prospective students in visiting the campus, but we are interested in helping in any way we can. Often housing can be arranged through students, for example. Careers in Ecology Ecologists can work for federal, state and regional agencies like the Forest Service, Fish and Game, and Park Service.
Ecologists can become consultants in business, industry, the military and other organizations .
Ecologists become professors or instructors at universities, colleges and private schools.
