Program Highlight
Benefit From an Integrative Approach
Conservation & Ecological Health is part of the Biological and Health Sciences Department, which also includes Biology, Neurology, Health Science, and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Together, these five majors share a core curriculum designed to introduce you to the underpinnings of biological and health sciences and teach you how to read, write, produce, and speak about science. With this firm foundation, you will be well-positioned to pursue the major of your choice
Our interdisciplinary approach also allows us to creatively leverage existing relationships with other departments such as Chemistry, Geology & Environmental Science, and Psychology, to provide an integrated, robust learning experience that prepares you well for graduate school, medical school, or any number of careers in the field of biological and health sciences.
