Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior
The Department offers MS and PhD in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior.
At the EEB graduate program, we work to create a welcoming, collaborative and supportive community. The graduate program strives to and succeeds in providing stable funding to students throughout their PhD. Students develop their own research interests and directions, and freely take input from faculty all across our department and university. Research in ecology spans the theoretical, experimental and applied, across many ecosystems and scales. Below is a quick guide to applying here for graduate school (which also will help you apply to other places), followed by descriptions of some students whose work exemplifies the diversity of people and research interests in our graduate program.
