In addition to the requirements for the Biology major, to receive the ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB) concentration, students must have a GPA ≥ 3.2 in the Biology major. Moreover, students must take three additional courses from the following list of courses, or two additional courses from the following list and three hours of research at the level of BIO 485 Research.

|---|---|---|
| BIO 323 | Comparative Anatomy | 4.0 |
| BIO 324 | Plant Diversity | 4.0 |
| BIO 334 | Reproduction and Identification of Flowering Plants | 4.0 |
| BIO 371 | Invertebrate Zoology | 4.0 |
| BIO 419 | Ethology | 4.0 |
| BIO 420 | Ecosystem Ecology | 4.0 |
| BIO 440 | Evolution | 3.0 |
| BIO 450 | Conservation Biology | 3.0 |
| BIO 460 | Ecology | 4.0 |
| BIO 463 | Plant Ecology | 4.0 |
| BIO 502 | Biometry | 3.0 |
| BIO 510 | 3.0 | |
| BIO 519 | Comparative Animal Behavior | 3.0 |
| BIO 520 | Advanced Ecosystems Ecology | 3.0 |
| BIO 530 | Plant Systematics | 3.0 |
| BIO 540 | Evolution | 3.0 |
| BIO 550 | Conservation Biology | 3.0 |
| BIO 563 | Advanced Plant Ecology | 3.0 |
| BIO 565 | 3.0 |
Finally, students must complete a year-long EEB related research project. To complete the year-long research requirement, students will take 6 research hours, 3 hours of BIO 385 Supervised Research and 3 hours of BIO 485 Research or 6 hours of BIO 485 Research. Prior to graduation, the Biology Department’s Curriculum Committee will review the completed research project to ensure that the students have conducted research appropriate for the concentration.
