> ‘Plus One’ MS program, a one-year, non-thesis MS program.
>
> The Plus One degree program is designed for students who are interested
> in seeking employment with environmental agencies of federal, state,
> and municipal government; non-governmental organizations; and in private
> industry, including environmental consulting firms. The program also will
> be useful for students planning to enter more advanced professional degree
> programs (e.g., law, public health, medicine, veterinary medicine, natural
> resources management) and for students intent on pursuing additional
> academic training (e.g., Ph.D. degree programs). The program is also
> useful for students seeking to strengthen teaching skills and pedagogy
> for a future career in education.
>
> Students have freedom to design the program to meet their educational and
> professional needs, but typically elect to pursue one of three loosely
> defined tracks in the program:
>
> (1) Research, in which students work closely with a tenured or tenure-
> track faculty mentor, with the goal of strengthening research
> capacity and potentially producing a peer-reviewed
> publication; these students typically use this track as a
> steppingstone to a Ph.D. program in Ecology and Evolutionary
> Biology or a related field.
> (2) Pedagogy, in which students work closely with one or more
> teaching faculty mentors, with the goal of strengthening
> teaching experience and skills, including the option to serve as
> an Teaching Fellow in EBIO 1010, Diversity of Life; these
> students typically go on to teach at the high school or
> elementary school level or otherwise engage in educational
> activities.
> (3) Knowledge base, in which students work with the Graduate Studies
> coordinator or other faculty member to identify courses required
> to bolster transcripts and knowledge base; these students
> typically go on to apply to professional degree programs such as
> law, medical, or veterinary schools or join the workforce.
>
> We have established a strong track record of assisting Plus One students
> to meet their professional and educational goals. Recent graduates from
> the program are currently in highly regarded PhD programs, law schools,
> medical schools and vet schools; teaching in high schools; and working
> in industry and governmental and non-governmental agencies.
>
> Our department houses a strong team of outstanding researchers
> and educators, with established strengths in coastal and tropical
> systems. We are committed to promoting diversity in STEM, and particularly
> welcome applications from members of groups that are traditionally
> under-represented in the field of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology.
>
> Students are encouraged to directly contact the faculty member or members
> they are interested in working with as advisors.
