Core Requirements and Electives in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Area I: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Core courses:
E&EB 160b (Diversity of Life)
MCDB 200a (Genetics)
 
E&EB 210a/STAT 101a or the equivalent (Statistics)
 
Electives:
Four credits, distributed as described below
 
Laboratories:
 
Two biology laboratories above the introductory level

EEB elective courses are grouped in three major subject areas:

A-Ecology: E&EB 220a, 228b, 230a, 360b, 365a, 370a, F&ES 275a
B-Evolution: E&EB 225b, <228b>, 246b, <310b>, G&G 250a, 315a, 320b
C-Organisms: E&EB <240b>, 246b, 250a, 255a, 272b, 275b, <358a>, MCDB 250a, 290b
 

Students must take at least one course from each group. In groups A and B, the course listed first is the recommended first course in that subject. One additional EEB or MCDB course numbered 140 or higher is also required. Students who wish to shape the major by drawing on electives in other departments should consult with and obtain the approval of the director of undergraduate studies.

Two laboratories are also required for the major. In addition to laboratories associated with the three groups of electives, E&EB 230a, 315La and MCDB 201La can also be used to fulfill this requirement.
