Department Of Ocean Engineering And Marine Sciences
Ecology is an interdisciplinary field of study that examines how living organisms interact with each other and with their environment, as well as the solutions that prevent and reduce negative environmental impacts. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the degree, students seeking a master’s in ecology will find a diversity of career opportunities that includes jobs in environmental protection, conservation, forestation, wildlife management, wetland science, restoration, and more.
Ecologists work in private biological and engineering firms, research centers, state parks, federal agencies, health systems, and academia. Whether students want to explore the migratory behaviors of an endangered species or advise policy makers on environmental issues, a master’s in ecology from Florida Tech provides the rigorous classroom study, laboratory research, and extensive fieldwork to prepare students for a career in ecology.
