Ecology

 

Ecology is the study of the interrelationships of organisms and their environment.  At Marietta College, this class emphasizes study of communities and the adaptations of individual organisms to their environment.  The approach is very quantitative; homework assignments give students the opportunity to become comfortable with the use of computers to gather, analyze and integrate data.
