Minor in EENR Learning Goals:

  • Goal 1: Explain basic population, community ecology, and ecosystem-level concepts.
  • Goal 2: Describe the evolutionary origins, processes and patterns over geologic time.
  • Goal 3: Create a natural resource management plan demonstrating an understanding of societal values and interests.
  • Goal 4: Effectively utilize software, hardware, field and laboratory techniques commonly used in the study of ecology, evolution, and natural resources management.
  • Goal 5: Use quantitative methods to analyze and understand ecological systems, incluing interpretataion ofnumeric and graphical data.
  • Goal 6: Communicate effectively orally and through written text and graphics.
  • Goal 7: Evaluate ecology, evolution, and natural resource management concepts in a global context.
