Restoration Ecology is taught every other year for upper division biology students and graduate students. The course focuses on placing underlying ecological theory into a restoration context. The course is team-taught with K.C. Larson, a terrestrial ecologist with an emphasis on invasive species. In addition, UCA is working to restore a stream that runs through campus (see slide show). This will be an on-going project!

General Ecology for all biology majors. This class introduces population, community, and ecosystem ecology in the context of human population growth and associated impacts on global biogeochemical cycles, biodiversity and climate patterns. Much of the labs are spent outside collecting data at the Jewell Moore Nature Reserve.
Study of Inland Waters and their Conservation. This upper division course will allow students to compare and contrast the diversity of freshwater ecosystems and learn the tools needed for structural and functional assessments.
Principles of Biology II for majors. Freshman students are introduced to the concepts of evolution, biological diversity, and ecology. All class materials are posted on UCA Blackboard.
Environmental Practicum, a capstone research course for Environmental Science students. Students are given an environmental problem to solve using ecological methods. The course is research-based and students work in groups to propose, execute, and present their ecological research to stakeholders.
