Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolution
Ecology and Evolution at Rutgers has a long and distinguished history. The graduate program includes approximately 80 faculty and 75 graduate students. The program is interdisciplinary in nature and offers graduate education and training in microbial, plant, animal, and human ecology under the direction of outstanding faculty located at three campuses (New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden); two marine stations (in Tuckerton and Bivalve); the Pinelands Field Stationin New Lisbon; and the Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York.
Members of the faculty actively pursue research in conservation biology, ecosystem ecology, evolutionary biology, marine biology, microbial ecology, population and community ecology, population genetics, and restoration ecology. Students may study toward either M.S. or Ph.D. degrees. An M.S. is not required to enter the Ph.D. program. Department Links |
