Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Ecology] From Susquehanna University

The word ecology is derived from the Greek word oikos, meaning "house." You'll better understand our home?and the environmental threats it faces?by majoring or minoring in ecology.

You'll learn how the elements of our environment?air, water, soil and organism?relate to each another and how organisms function within their native habitat.

And that won't just happen in a classroom. You learn about the environment while getting your boots dirty.

Our rural location, close to major waterways, is perfect for the study of ecology, so you'll get plenty of chances to work in the field.

Combining the strengths of our biology and earth and environmental sciences departments, we cover a wide range of topics from streams, lakes and wetlands to nutrient cycling to land ecosystems.

You'll learn directly from our expert faculty, who specialize in aquatic ecology, soil science, behavioral ecology, paleoecology, vertebrate ecology, plant ecology, wetlands ecology and population and community ecology.
