1Curriculum is based on a PhD student majoring in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior (EEB) with an emphasis on behavior and obtaining a Minor in Animal Behavior (AB). Certain other configurations possible for students with an emphasis on evolution or genetics, e.g., course in Behavioral Ecology or Population Genetics or Quantitative Genetics or Molecular Genetics in place of Physiological Ecology or Neuroethology.
2Includes mini-rotation
3Taken once for credit, thereafter equals Animal Behavior Lunch
