Overview

Ecology students from University of Georgia work with faculty mentors to develop a focused research thesis that can be completed in about two years. In addition to the thesis research, the student also takes coursework that helps them develop particular skills relevant to their career goals.

They anticipate that all students will aspire to gain skills in theoretical ecology, research design, lab and field techniques, data analysis, and science communication. Students address research topics appropriate for a two-year program, that can be drawn from an infinite array of ecological questions.

Careers

The graduate programs have attracted outstanding students and produced exceptionally talented ecologists and environmental scientists, many of whom are now leaders in their fields.

Alumni of the PhD programs include college and university faculty and administrators, environmental consultants, policy analysts, conservation directors, nonprofit executives, and scientists and decision-makers in government agencies.

Graduates of the MS programs have obtained positions with government agencies working at the global, national and local levels, including USAID, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Park Service, as well as nongovernmental organizations such as The Nature Conservancy. Many have used the MS programs as a portal to Ph.D. or other advanced degree programs (such as a JD).

General requirements

They do have not specific course requirements for admission to any of our graduate programs. We do however expect an applicant to be prepared for advanced study in ecology. This can be conveyed in multiple ways: e.g., coursework in ecology and allied disciplines, work experience, and past or ongoing ecological research experiences (e.g., via a published research paper(s), presentation(s) at a conference, a senior thesis, or participation in an REU program). Your application (via your CV and Statement of Purpose) should clearly convey your preparedness for graduate study and research. The Graduate School requires that you hold a bachelor’s degree (UGA Double Dawgs are an exception ), or foreign equivalent, from an accredited institution with a GPA of at least 3.0 (although this can be waived under exceptional situations with justification) at the time you matriculate into our program.
