Urban Restoration Ecology's novel curriculum reflects our emphasis on restoring urban and urbanizing environments. Courses serving undergrad-uates, graduates, and professionals are offered at both Rutgers University and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. This program comprising more than 56 faculty and 80 graduate students and operating on all campuses, at area field stations, and abroad provides a broad spectrum of courses and research opportunities to highly qualified students. Members of the faculty actively pursue research in areas ranging from individual-species ecology through ecosystem, conservation, and restoration issues. Independent study and honors projects in field-based sciences are available in many labs.
Qualified individuals can also sign up for courses as non-matriculating students.
