The concentration in Evolution and Behavior is designed to train students in advanced organismal biology with the emphasis on behavioral ecology, evolution, and/or functional morphology. The mission of the program is to create scientists who are broadly trained and uniquely capable of asking questions and solving problems at the interface of these traditionally defined fields. Students admitted to the program should have a basic knowledge of evolution, anatomy, physiology, and/or behavioral ecology. Students will begin by taking core courses providing a broad foundation at the graduate level and will work toward a Ph.D. with a concentration in evolution and behavior. Students will develop an appreciation that all aspects of biology, whether cellular, physiological, anatomical, behavior, evolutionary or social, are inextricably linked and cannot be fully understood as separate, parallel systems of knowledge.
