Concentrations in the GDPE

One of the strengths of the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology at Colorado State University is its flexibility: students with particular interests in ecology build on the foundation of core courses to achieve the interdisciplinary training.

Because of the special concentrations of ecological expertise in several areas at Colorado State University and because of the contemporary importance of these areas, several curricular options or "tracks" are suggested to guide development of student programs. Seven examples of curricular options are:

• Conservation Biology
• Landscape Ecology
• Global Change
• Restoration Ecology
• Human Ecology
• Ecosystem Management
• Ecological Risk Assessment and Management (ERAM)

Curriculum information on our concentrations is available through our curriculum page.

Please note that these tracks are informal and serve only as guides for students to modify.
