Description

The Graduate Degree Program in Ecology (GDPE) offers outstanding opportunities for graduate studies in basic and applied aspects of ecology. Any graduate student enrolled in a master’s or doctoral degree program with a major advisor who is a member of the GDPE faculty may participate in this university-wide, interdisciplinary Ecology program, which offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Ecology. The program is a cooperative effort among over 155 faculty members from 17 departments and 6 colleges of the University who share a common interest in ecology.

The primary goal of the program is to provide basic training in current ecological methods, theories, concepts, controversies, and applications by drawing together individuals and synthesizing knowledge from a wider variety of traditional disciplinary areas of science.

Through the cooperation of the many academic departments and government agencies, the program offers a wide array of facilities, field research sites, equipment, and support services. Because of its location, one of the University’s greatest resources is its accessibility to a wide variety of field study sites. Nearby major habitats include: shortgrass steppe and mixed grass prairies; sagebrush steppe; montane and subalpine meadows, forests; southwestern deserts; alpine peaks; river and lake systems; and numerous agroecosystems.

Graduate Teaching Assistantships: We offer GTA positions in the fall and spring semesters as well as the summer session. Fall and spring appointments are 4.5 months in length. Stipends for Department of Biology graduate students serving as fall and spring GTAs are $2,050/month. The Graduate School covers the cost of the CSU health insurance plan for all GTAs. In addition, a GTA appointment in the fall and spring semesters covers tuition expenses. For first-year graduate students, this includes out-of-state tuition costs for non-Colorado residents. Graduate Research Assistantships: Graduate Research Assistants (GRAs) serve a critical role in the research projects conducted by Department of Biology faculty members. GRA positions are typically provided by students’ primary advisors; they are awarded in the fall and spring semesters, as well as the summer session, based on grant funding. Rates for GRAs are variable, based on individual PI grant budgets. The Graduate School covers the cost of the CSU health insurance plan for all GRAs. GRA positions also typically cover tuition.
