The Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology (EECB) M.S. programs are for students who want to build in-depth understanding of ecosystems and the organisms that inhabit them -- and help shape policies that respect these natural wonders.
The Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology Ph.D. or M.S. are both interdisciplinary programs that bring together faculty and students from multiple departments at the University of Nevada, Reno, as well as from the Desert Research Institute and the Great Basin Institute. The programs are designed to prepare graduates for high-level careers as scientists and researchers. For both program, career goals may include positions within public agencies, such as government land bureaus; with private organizations, such as social advocacy groups; or even in academia.
Students in these programs also enjoy access to numerous departmental laboratories, as well as several research centers, including the Chemical Ecology Center, the Nevada Genomics Center, the Whittell Forest and Wildlife Area/Little Valley Field Station and the Valley Road Field Laboratory.
Program of study and course work
Each student will complete an entrance interview with a provisional advisory committee of at least 3 EECB faculty (the student's advisor and two other faculty chosen by the advisor). This committee is chaired and selected by the student's advisor and none of the recommendations of the committee are binding. The entrance interview should occur within the first month of the first semester and will allow the committee to assess the student's needs for coursework during the first year. The graduate guidelines will be discussed as well as an overall plan of action for the student.
