Faculty members receive research grants for specific projects. Faculty members may or may not have funds available, and this status changes each year as students graduate, as new students are accepted, and as grant funds become available. We encourage you to study the information provided herewith and carefully consider your personal qualifications and financial situation. Certain items among the more detailed biodata, which are required for formal applications, often attract the interest of our graduate faculty members. If you think this might be the case with you, we encourage you to make formal application.
Research projects vary over time, depending on funding and other factors.
The Utah State University Ecology Center is a lateral administrative structure in the University that supports and coordinates ecological research and graduate education in the science of ecology. It provides professional information and advice to decision makers considering actions that affect the environment. G raduate degrees are conferred, within the participating departments. A primary objective of the Center is to provide a basic scientific underpinning for applied ecological programs in the Colleges of Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Science, and many of its research projects address applied natural resource issues and environmental problems. It is important, when filling out the Application to the School of Graduate Studies, that the prospective graduate student consider which basic scientific area he wishes to pursue and to state his interest in applying to the appropriate participating department.
