Overview

About the program:

We have strong programs in ecology at The University of New Mexico and evolution that embrace diverse research in ecosystems ecology, plant population and community ecology, behavioral ecology, metabolic ecology and collections-based studies in the Museum of Southwestern Biology.

Lying in intermediate positions are integrative programs in parasitology and comparative immunology that cut across traditional disciplines, and at the cell/molecular end of the spectrum are programs in genomics, fungal biology and Drosophila development that also build on evolutionary themes. In addition to Biology majors, we serve students preparing for careers in the allied health sciences who take our non-majors courses en route to other programs on campus.
Our faculty love to talk about their research so you should contact faculty members with research interests related to your own to determine which lab(s) would best fit your interests and goals.
