California Ecology and Conservation is an intensive field program which
transforms students into scientists. The course is specifically tailored
for students contemplating a career in ecology, conservation biology, or a
related field. This spring will mark our 30th run. Since its inception in
2015, over 500 undergraduates from across the UC system have participated.


For 50 days, 27 undergraduates from across the UC system participate in
hands-on learning, gaining a familiarity with some of the most
awe-inspiring landscapes the state has to offer. Students complete a series
of independent research studies while learning to notice natural patterns,
frame questions into feasible research projects, and practice standard
field techniques. At the conclusion of each project, students analyze their
data and present their findings in oral presentations and written reports.
All the while, students grow as leaders, teammates, and members of a
diverse and enthusiastic community of scholars.


All UC undergraduates who have a 2.5+ GPA, are in good standing with their
home campus, and have successfully completed an introductory biology course
are eligible to apply.
Here is what one of our alumni has to say about the experience:
Bethany Johnson, UCR

I learned about the CEC course through my club’s discord. My favorite
aspects of the course were the nature hikes, good food, visiting reserves
and nearby places like Mono Lake and Lake Tahoe, and learning about
animals, plants, and new friends. The application process is easy.
