What is a BSc in Ecology? This is a degree focused on the science of relationships between organisms, and between organisms and their environments. It involves a broad knowledge of how biology, geology, climatology, and other related fields interact with organisms, including studying the adaptations made by organisms to a changing environment. This program provides a comprehensive survey of the fundamental concepts of ecology, preparing students to enter careers in the field or to go on to graduate studies.

Individuals who complete a BSc in Ecology find themselves in high demand for roles that involve consulting on environmental impact. With the growing awareness of the importance of ecological sustainability in a variety of human endeavors, this provides diverse opportunities in fields such as construction, agriculture, and the fossil fuel industry, in addition to work in wildlife management.

Costs for a degree can vary quite a bit from institution to institution, but generally, a BSc in Ecology does not cost more than baccalaureate degrees in other fields. It is a good idea to check with specific institutions regarding costs and other associated fees.

Careers in ecology usually focus on investigating and documenting the impact of various environmental changes on local ecosystems, as well as how those local ecosystems impact larger global systems. That means that ecologists are often employed in fields that require impact or land use surveys, including mining, fossil fuels, construction, wildlife management, agriculture, and more. With a BSc in Ecology, graduates are prepared for entry-level work in those areas. Eventually, they may gain the experience needed to climb into managerial positions.

Ecology is a popular field offered at a number of institutions, and taking classes online is a great way to get into the best program for your goals, regardless of where you are located.

Conserving biodiversity and avoiding the extinction of species are huge global challenges. It has never been more important for scientists to understand organisms and ecosystems, and how they respond to the threats they face. Ecology and Conservation at Lincoln seek to explore the natural world, from individuals to populations, and communities to ecosystems. Students are able to examine how organisms interact with each other and their environment, and how these processes are affected by human activities. -

Water is one of the most important substances on Earth. It is essential to many of the things we need and enjoy in life: food, transport, and recreation, but managing it can also pose some serious challenges. Around the world, water managers contend with droughts, floods, sea-level rise, overfishing, pollution, plastic soup, and many other risks to both our natural environment and our society. We need water managers to safeguard our future! -

The mission of the Bachelor of Science: Ecology program is to provide students an innovative and applied undergraduate education in ecology, the study of relationships between organisms and their environments. We educate our students in the scientific and quantitative skills needed to work at scales from genes to the biosphere and from minutes to millennia. Our program strongly supports student engagement in ecological research and community outreach through internships, cooperative education, and thesis opportunities. The BS: Ecology degree is appropriate for students interested in careers as diverse as fish and wildlife biology, statistical ecology, agroecology, botany, forestry, conservation biology, disease ecology, and landscape ecology. Ecologists are most frequently hired by universities, research institutions, private consulting firms and industry, state and federal government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and zoos and aquariums. In addition, the curriculum is tailored to provide all the coursework necessary for students to apply for professional certification from several ecological organizations (Ecological Society of America, The Wildlife Society, and The American Fisheries Society) and to attend top M.S. or Ph.D. graduate programs in ecology-related fields. -
