生物学文学士-生态学

生态原则在产生解决应用利益问题的解决方案中也发挥着重要作用，例如使用掠食性昆虫作为生物控制剂，人类和其他人群的疾病动态，面对人为变化而保护生物多样性，天然和人工生态系统中污染物的命运以及化石燃料的使用对全球气候的影响。因此，生物学专业的本科生不仅需要全面的生态学基础，以便继续攻读学术生态学的研究生课程，而且还需要为诸如环境管理，生态毒理学，环境法，保护生物学和生态农业等应用领域的职业做好准备。专为生态学设计的本科生旨在为学生提供入门级资格，以便他们可以进一步学习生态学的基础和应用方面。
Ecological principles also play a major role in generating solutions to problems of applied interest, such as the use of predatory insects as agent of biological control, the dynamics of disease in human and other populations, the preservation of biodiversity in the face of anthropogenic changes, the fate of pollutants in natural and artificial ecosystems, and the effects of fossil fuel use on the global climate. As a result, undergraduate Biology majors need a thorough grounding in ecology not only to pursue graduate study in academic ecology, but also as preparation for careers in applied fields such as environmental management,ecotoxicology, environmental law, conservation biology, and ecological agriculture. The undergraduate concentration in ecology has been designed to give students the entry-level qualifications for further study in basic and applied aspects of ecology.
