Ecology
course requirement:
For
the Master's or the Ph.D. degree, a graduate course in principles
of ecology and one in ecology of a particular type of ecosystem
are required. Once taken during the Master's degree, these requirements
are satisfied for the purposes of the Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary
Ecology. If you took a comprehensive
Principles of Ecology course as an undergraduate, you may meet
the two-course requirement by either taking one graduate-level
Principles of Ecology course and one Ecology-Particular Systems
course or taking two Particular System courses from the lists
below. For a Ph.D. student, equivalent course work taken during
Master's studies meets this requirement if approved by your Supervisory
Committee.
Advice on selection of courses in the category "Perspectives
and Elaborations of Ecological Theory:"
To gain a balanced knowledge of evolutionary
and systems ecology, you should try to take one course each in
general-population-community ecology and one in systems ecology. If
you do not study systems ecology, you will miss much of the predictive
power
of ecological theory; for this purpose, EES 5305C, EES 6301, or
PCB 5338 are recommended.

Distribution
requirement and elective courses:
Students are required to undertake advanced study
of three domains of thought that are integral to interdisciplinary
ecology: resource-related
natural sciences, environment-oriented social sciences, and
sustainability studies. This distribution requirement applies separately
(iteratively, without double-counting) to the M.S. and Ph.D. programs.
During the Ph.D. program, a new course must be taken in
each of the three distribution areas; a course from previous M.S.
work
may not be substituted. Choice of specific courses
is custom-fitted by the student and Supervisory Committee
to meet the student's
needs
while
linking the
three domains of thought to fundamental ecological theory. The
remaining choices of electives are at the discretion of the student
(with Committee approval) to follow interests or pursue a concentration.
All the elective courses identified here are designated as courses
in the major except for LAW courses (LAW courses do not automatically
count for graduate credit and must be petitioned to the
Graduate School for routine approval for graduate credit). If
you want to take an elective course not on this preapproved list,
either ask the Director of Academic Programs to place the course on the
approved list, or ask your Supervisory Committee to approve the
elective, in which case the Director will also approve it
on a one-time basis.

Concentrations:
 The
Graduate Catalog defines a concentration as a subprogram of courses
offered within a graduate major. The School faculty established
a concentration within the major to enable students to claim mastery
of a traditional discipline in addition to the interdisciplinary
major. The concentration in the Interdisciplinary Ecology major
comprises 6 credit hours for the master's (optional) or 12 credit
hours for the doctorate (required). Concentrations are audited
according to their departmental degree program codes or concentration
codes
and thus are formally identified on the student's transcript. When
planning your program of study, be sure that the courses intended
for the concentration are all in one department's curriculum or
else in a concentration approved by the Graduate School. The approved
concentrations within the Interdisciplinary Ecology major are:
Agricultural
and Biological Engineering
Agricultural Education and Communication
Agronomy
Anthropology
Architecture
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Botany
Business Administration
Chemistry
Civil Engineering
Coastal and Oceanographic Engineering
Economics
