 * == Essence and Values of Studying Environmental Biology ==
 * Environmental Biology which is an intrinsic multidisciplinary of Environmental Science offers a meticulous program of study in biology related to the Environment.
 * It is designed to provide students with a fundamental foundation in; Genetics of Organism, Population, Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology and it also explores a range of contemporary issues which are; Conservation of Natural Resources, Bio-geography
 * and monitoring the Ecological impact of human activity like; (Pollution, Overpopulation and Deforestation, ) and so on. This has insidiously left an indelible mark on our environment (Climate Change, Global Warming, Ozone layer Depletion, Ozone hole, Habitat loss, Desertification and Acid Rain.)
 * The 21st century is a challenging time for those for whom the natural world is a source of pleasure or employment. The planet is increasingly threatened by extinction and degradation, yet new and exciting areas of traditional disciplines such as ecology are emerging in response to these forces. This course aims to provide students with two different elements that are crucial in equipping them to work in this changing environment.
 * 1.	Firstly, we provide a sound theoretical underpinning in science and especially ecology, a broad base in biology upon which to build specialist knowledge.
 * 2.	Secondly, we provide practical skills and real-world experience through field days and residential field courses that allow the theory to be placed in context.
 * As an Environmental Biologist, we should be able to have a rudimentary cognition in core scientific principles, critical reading and writing skills, and also the ability to understand, apply and communicate scientific concepts and results.
 * Career Paths or opportunities
 * Graduates of the Environmental Biology program will be grounded in the fundamentals of natural science and prepared to enter graduate programs fields such as biology (ecology & evolution, genetics, etc.), careers in environmental protection, research, consultancy, public health, medicine or public policy. Students will also be prepared for careers in fields such as Conservation, Pollution monitoring, science education, public health, international relations and ecosystems management by training in ecosystems biology, environmental microbiology, pollution monitoring, ecotoxicology and environmental biochemistry.
