Opportunities for graduate studies at the University of Wyoming

 

Faculty with interests in evolutionary biology work in many of the science departments at the University of Wyoming. Consequently, students have diverse opportunties for pursuing graduate research with a focus in evolutionary biology.

Graduate degrees (M.S. and Ph.D.) are offered by individual departments (Botany, Geology and Geophysics, Renewable Resources, and Zoology and Physiology), as well as through interdepartmental graduate programs in Ecology and Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences.

The University of Wyoming is a great place to study evolution. Interested students can learn more about the opportunities we offer by contacting indvidual faculty members directly.
