McIntyre received her undergraduate degree in zoology at the University of Georgia in 1991. In 1993, McIntyre achieved her Master of Science under the mentorship of Frank B. Golley. McIntyre examined forest size, its relationship to bird assemblage (the type of species present) and bird migration strategies.[https://galileo-uga.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma9913672583902959&context=L&vid=01GALI_UGA:UGA&lang=en&search_scope=MyInstitution&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&tab=LibraryCatalog&query=creator,contains,Nancy%20McIntyre&offset=0 Catalog] exlibrisgroup.com Under the mentorship of John Wiens, McIntyre attained her Doctor of Philosophy in ecology at Colorado State University in 1998. McIntyre used the Eleodes beetle as an experimental model to investigate the way in which the area and nature of a habitat affect the beetles' movement and location. This involved large-scale field studies.{{cite thesis |last1=McIntyre |first1=Nancy E. |title=Landscape heterogeneity at multiple scales: effects on movement patterns and habitat selection of eleodid beetles |date=1998 |hdl=10217/87747 }}

McIntyre's career began as a postdoctoral researcher at Arizona State University where she worked in the area of urban ecology at the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-term Ecological Research project.{{Cite web|url=https://sustainability-innovation.asu.edu/caplter/|title=Central Arizona–Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research|accessdate=15 January 2024}} In 2000, McIntyre joined the faculty of the Department of Biological Science at Texas Tech University. Her research focusses on relationships between organisms and their environment and the way in which human activities affect those relationships. Specifically, McIntyre examines birds and insects in forest, grassland, wetland, and urban ecosystems. She researches anthropogenic habitat fragmentation and its effects on insects and bird numbers, diversity and risk of extinction.

McIntyre has served on the editorial boards of scientific journal including Landscape Ecology, Urban Ecosystems, BioScience, and the Journal of Urban Ecology.{{Cite web|url=https://sites.google.com/view/mcintyre-professional-service/home|title=Professional service|website=sites.google.com}} She served as President-elect of the International Association for Landscape Ecology – North America from 2019 to 2020 and as President of the organization from 2020 to 2022.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ialena.org/officers.html|title=Officers|website=IALE-NORTH AMERICA}}
