What is an ecosystem? How do they work, and how can we apply science to solve pressing environmental problems to help restore degraded ecosystems? In the ecosystem science and restoration concentration of the environmental science degree, you’ll learn all of this and more, in a hands-on program that spans the range of ecology from microbial to global scales.
Our hands-on learning opportunities are among the most meaningful and transformative educational experiences available to college students anywhere in the world. You’ll visit local river, stream and forest restoration sites and explore ecosystem science concepts through trips to wildfire areas. You’ll also have unique opportunities to complete internships with community nonprofits, agencies and private restoration partners, and get hands-on restoration experience working with the UM Society for Ecological Restoration.
