Our department represents one of the best venues in the world to study ecology and evolutionary biology at either the undergraduate or graduate level. National rankings place EEB at U-M highly among peer institutions and our faculty members are not only accomplished, but remarkably diverse. In the last four years alone, we have hired over 13 new faculty members, who are pioneers in the most exciting areas within the disciplines of ecology and evolutionary biology.
Our collective teaching and research activities span all major ecosystems on earth in addition to extensive swaths of the "tree of life."

EEB’s graduate program is recognized internationally for its breadth and depth in the biodiversity sciences including an exceptional wealth of in-depth biodiversity courses. This breadth and diversity in research areas within ecology and evolutionary biology is reflected in the quality of our undergraduate and graduate programs.
EEB offers a new concentration in ecology and evolutionary biology for undergraduates as well as an outstanding, broad-based undergraduate education in the life sciences through concentrations in the Program in Biology, run jointly with our sister Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Through our partnership with the new intercollegiate undergraduate
Program in the Environment, we also contribute towards the interdisciplinary study of all aspects of the environment.
