Program Learning Outcomes for BA in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Students graduating from this program will: Locate primary scientific literature and demonstrate the ability to use critical thinking and problem solving skills to evaluate published and proposed research in the biological sciences and to apply these skills to develop an independent research project. Demonstrate the ability to apply the modern scientific method, including designing experiments and/or building mathematical models, collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data using common statistical methods and software programs. Demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills, including an ability to effectively communicate and work with diverse groups and the ability to interpret and communicate the results of original research. Demonstrate familiarity with the diversity of life and an in-depth understanding of at least one level of biological organization (i.e. genetic, genomic, cellular, organismal, population, community, or ecosystem). Demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of biology and an in-depth understanding of ecology and evolutionary biology. Demonstrate understanding of the practice and culture of science, scientific ethics, and the relationship between science and society. Degree Requirements for BA in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology These paths are intended for students pursuing a wide range of careers in the life sciences. Students graduating from either degree path typically go on to graduate or professional school or enter the workforce with the BS as their terminal degree. Course work emphasizes a broad understanding of basic biology together with in-depth knowledge of ecology and evolutionary biology that culminates in a required capstone 400-level course incorporating primary scientific literature, presentations, and writing in an advanced topic. The BA degree is well suited for students with an additional major outside of the sciences. Students pursuing a BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are required to conduct independent research under the supervision or co-supervision of an EEB faculty member (though the research can take place in other locations or institutions such as the Texas Medical Center or at field sites throughout the world). Students in both degree paths are strongly encouraged to take advantage of study abroad opportunities.
