Ecology courses can help you learn about ecosystems, biodiversity, conservation strategies, and the impacts of climate change. You can build skills in data analysis, field research techniques, and environmental policy evaluation. Many courses introduce tools such as GIS software for mapping habitats, statistical programs for analyzing ecological data, and modeling software to simulate environmental changes.
