Minor in Ecology & Conservation Biology
A minor in Ecology and Conservation Biology points students toward getting strength in this sub-discipline of biology. Preparation for many careers is advanced by coursework in ecology and conservation, e.g. environmental lawyer, environmental consultant, conservation technician, and environmental educator.
Interested students should see an IB advisor to complete the minor declaration form. Students can visit during our Express Advising Hours, or you can make an appointment online or by visiting our office in 2002 NHB.
