The MA program in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at UC Santa Cruz Division of Physical & Biological Sciences is designed for students seeking graduate-level research training in ecology, evolutionary biology, physiology, and animal behavior. The program emphasizes directed, shorter-term research culminating in a thesis, with interdisciplinary collaborations and a strong focus on field and laboratory work. Students share core coursework with PhD students but are exempt from comprehensive or qualifying exams. The program supports close faculty-student collaboration and aims to develop professional skills for both academic and applied careers. 来源： https://www.eeb.ucsc.edu/academics/graduate/
