About Ecology

The Ecology Program Area (EPA) is an engaging, dynamic program area with a long history of excellence. This is one of the many reasons why San Diego State was voted one of the strongest research and teaching programs in the California State University system. Our goal is to provide the best possible education to the next generation of scientists through research, teaching, mentoring, and service.
