and Conservation program equips students with the knowledge and skills to address ecological questions and conservation issues both locally and globally. Field-based courses provide hands-on experience, while taking advantage of the unique habitats and organisms found within the Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion, a recognized area for biological diversity. The comprehensive curriculum also encompasses quantitative skills, conservation science, courses in organismal biology, and a wide variety of upper-division electives that students can tailor to their interests. All students complete a mentored research-based capstone project, enabling them to conduct scientific studies that answer ecological questions and propose conservation solutions. Faculty advisors for the Ecology and Conservation program prioritize one-on-one advising to help students pursue their individual career goals, ranging from pursuing advanced degrees in ecology, to thriving in careers with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, or business entities.<\/p>\n<p>Learning objectives for the Ecology and Conservation major:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students will understand the processes shaping physical environments and their impact on organism-environment interactions.<\/li>\n<li>Students will become accomplished naturalists who effectively read landscapes, identify organisms, and explain ecological processes.<\/li>\n<li>Students will develop methodological and analytical expertise, enabling them to conduct observational, experimental, and computational studies that answer ecological questions and resolve conservation issues.<\/li>\n<li>Students will effectively communicate their scientific knowledge within social, political, and economic
