Biology dissects the vast diversity of living organisms in our world, what they are composed of, their evolution, and what issues they face, such as diseases and pathogens. Ecology is a segment of biology that studies the relationship and interactions between living organisms and their environment, such as how plastics affect bird populations, how forest fires renew plant growth, or how higher world temperatures affect polar bears.

You will receive a comprehensive exploration of our natural world. Through this program, you will have a general foundation within biology and ecology, as well as the technical knowledge to allow you to go into other related areas within these fields.
