​The Ecology ​course will introduce the basics biological processes at the level of organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems.
​
Course Goals
- Understand the major ecological principles, concepts, classical and contemporary hypotheses dominating the field of ecology. Know the basics biological processes at the level of whole organisms and higher (populations, communities, and ecosystems). Know the importance of science and ecology to contemporary society, and the importance of Scientific field and how ecologists conduct research. 
- Develop critical thinking, oral, and written communication, and use quantitative reasoning.
Labs include outdoor and indoor activities

Ichthyology Course

Ichthyology course will explore the diversity and biology of fishes from an evolutionary perspective. Topics covered include: the history of ichthyology, principals of Phylogenetic Systematics, form and function, evolution and taxonomic diversity of major lineages, distribution, behavior, ecology, fisheries and conservation​. This course ​offers hands-on experience learning about and identifying major orders, families, genera and species of fishes, with particular emphasis on species occurring in Texan waters.
