It is firmly grounded in ecological theory, and theory is a significant component of our research efforts. This program has an applied focus that examines how ecosystem functions produce and maintain products and services of importance to human societies, e.g. water purification in wetlands. In this context, ecosystem science provides a powerful framework for identifying ecological mechanisms underling environmental problems such as: problems of land degradation, water pollution, and loss of species and habitat.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 65  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 5  Average GPA: 3.750  Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Quarter  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
