Study Master of Science Conservation Biology at University of West Alabama

We all leave a footprint on the world. And as our population grows, there is an increasing need for conservation biologists to protect it. When you seek a Master of Science degree, you're preparing for a career in the field and in the laboratory answering questions related to ecology, evolution and changes in the environment. Throughout the program, you will train to understand biodiversity and identify solutions to potential conflicts between humans and the natural world. As a graduate student, you will choose between specializations in biodiversity (bio-inventory, taxonomy, and molecular systematics), ecology (natural systems, plant/animal communities, paleoecology, and microbial ecology), and anthropogenic impacts (environmental toxicology and water conservation). Admission to this program requires prospective students hold a degree from an accredited college or university with a minimum of 2.5 grade point average (four-point scale). To apply, submit an application packet containing official transcripts, an official score on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), a statement of purpose and three letters of recommendation. All application materials should be submitted to the UWA School of Graduate Studies.
