Integrative Biology
Integrative Biology is an interdisciplinary study of living organisms, merging principles from genetics, ecology, physiology, and evolution to understand and explore the complexity of life on Earth.
Integrative biology is a field of study geared at a broad-based education across many biological subdisciplines. Students focus on questions regarding ecology, evolution, and organisms, while also learning the modern technology and quantitative skills used in various fields. Students are well prepared to go on to graduate school in Biology or to seek careers in such places as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other similar research-focused institutions.Top Reasons
