Program Description

The Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology at UC Santa Barbara provides broad, interdisciplinary education leading to the Master of Arts, Master of Science, and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees with an emphasis on ecology and evolution, and marine biology and oceanography. The diversity of research interests, perspectives, and expertise within the Department promotes the development of a broad foundation in ecology, evolution, and marine biology, and an appreciation for interdisciplinary approaches to research. It also allows students to develop depth in specific sub-disciplines including population and community ecology, ecosystems ecology, limnology, and biological oceanography, ecological physiology, evolution, population genetics, climate science, and organismal biology. Faculty in the Department apply experimental (both field and laboratory-based) as well as modeling approaches, and there are many opportunities for students to get involved in field work, outreach activities, and teaching.
