The Master of Science in Conservation and Restoration Ecology (MS CaRE) program has grown out of the research output and experience of the Department of Biology of the College of Science of UP Baguio over the years. Its roster of professors with varied yet harmonized fields of expertise enable the department to focus on biodiversity assessments and data- banking, conservation, and the ethno-botany of the ecosystems of Northern Luzon – from the mountain ridges to the reefs. This is consistent with UP Baguio's mandate to perform its unique and distinctive leadership in higher education and development, to lead in setting academic standards, and in initiating innovations in teaching, research, and community service in its identified niche in the Cordilleras and the rest of Northern Luzon.

The graduates of MS CaRE are envisioned to be:
  • Competent environmental biologists who can lead and undertake projects in conservation, assessment, monitoring, and restoration of degraded ecosystems;
  • Capable to carry out research in conservation and restoration ecology; and,
  • Ready to pursue doctoral courses in related fields.
