EEB offers both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees and graduate students pursuing research-based degrees receive full financial support. We invite applications from qualified students with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in any facet of biology who are interested in graduate study in ecology and evolutionary biology. Students with unusual backgrounds who show a strong commitment to and potential for academic work in biology are also considered. Currently, the department has about 55 graduate students pursuing our three graduate degrees. These students come from throughout the U.S., and from Central America, Asia and Europe.
