Penn State’s Intercollege Graduate Degree Program in Ecology trains scientists to explore the natural world and the multitudes of interactions within it. Specifically, we teach students to observe, experiment with, and analyze patterns in the natural world with a goal of pursuing solutions to some the most pressing problems of our time—such as those related to biodiversity, climate change, invasive species, food security, and infectious disease. Students’ fluency in the life and physical sciences, along with their knowledge of field, computational, and statistical tools gives them a unique interdisciplinary advantage in the job market.

The Graduate Degree Program in Ecology offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
