The 30 credit interdisciplinary major consists of three foundation courses, one senior seminar, one course in ecology, one in the philosophy/history of science, and four approved electives. In consultation with a major advisor, students will tailor intensive study to suit particular interests within the major. This is a second major in conjunction with a conventional disciplinary major. The courses will be selected from the following list of courses. Up to twelve credits in required and elective courses taken by students for their first major may be applied to their Evolutionary Biology major.
The Minor
