Curriculum for Ecology and Environmental Science Concentration
Our supportive and intellectually challenging faculty offer a wide variety of courses within the ecology concentration. These courses emphasize both laboratory and field studies. Field experiences generally take place in the natural areas around Otterbein, including terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Additionally, we offer exciting courses with international field experiences, such as Coral Reef Ecology in Belize and Tropical Ecology and Agriculture in Costa Rica.
All course descriptions are available on the Registrar's site.
