Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Ecosystem Science and Restoration - Aquatic Option] From University of Montana

Want to work in aquatic systems? Student graduating under the aquatic option will be qualified to work in a number of fields in riverine, riparian and wetlands ecology and restoration. The strong emphasis on physical and biological sciences in this option will provide a student with the background required to work in jobs as hydrologists (if physics is taken), general biological scientists, or ecologists, and to attend graduate school in the biological sciences.

This exciting program spans ecology from microbial to global scales and includes basic and applied science. As an ESR major, you can focus on either aquatic or terrestrial ecosystems and tailor your experience to best fit your interests and career path. In the minor, you can add expertise in ecology to complement a major in another field, enhancing your breadth of knowledge of the world around you.

What you'll do in this science-based undergraduate degree program:

• Study how organisms and their environment interact across multiple scales of biological organization
• Gain hands-on real-world experiences
• Learn concepts and skills that will land you a job
• Tailor your program to meet your goals and interests
• Learn from faculty that are among the best in their field
