if you fail to take an economics and business law class, you will be an econut and not a true ecologist. An ecologist weights cost to benefit ratios.
Just take every science course that you can fit into your schedule. There are so many specialties in ecology, that you can’t study them all. Personally, I avoided chemistry as much as possible and concentrated on zoology and biostatistics. My primary client majored in geography. Your real education won’t start until you graduate, anyway.
You’ll need to be an environmental science or Biology major.
You’ll need these, if they’re available.
Zoology,
Microbiology
Ecology
Botany/plant science
Organic Chem
mammology
biochemistry
parasitology
field studies (experience-based learning in the wild, anyhow)
Limnology and or Marine Biology
take internships, too.
Check online at the course requirements of any college ecology program… that’ll give you an idea, too.
