Bachelor of Science in Biology - Organismal Biology and Ecology

Middle Tennessee State University

The Organismal Biology and Ecology major is intended for students interested in exploring the biology of organisms. Courses allow students to focus on the structure, function, and physiology of a broad array of organisms: from algae, fungi and plants to fishes, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. Faculty involved in this major integrate their research to additionally address issues in behavioral ecology, climate change, evolutionary ecology and history, population dynamics, community ecology, and wildlife diseases. The major provides a comprehensive background for students with career interests in being a field ecologist, a park ranger or naturalist, an environmental consultant, a natural resource manager, or for students to further their education to pursue a graduate degree.
