  Research is at the center of both the M.S. and Ph.D. programs. Graduate students in the program pursue questions at all levels of ecological organization including behavioral, population, community, landscape, and ecosystem ecology. In addition, students take core ecology courses and seminars and attend short workshops designed to improve teaching and professional skills.
  
  Assistantships are provided by the home department.
  Students interested in this program should review the research interests of the faculty associates . Any faculty associate in a participating department can serve as the thesis/dissertation advisor.
