Fisheries and wildlife resource conservation is a challenging profession involving biological, ecological, management, policy, and social systems. Although many professionals obtain entry-level positions with B.

The PSMFWA degree is designed for early- and mid-career professionals who desire graduate-level training to advance their careers; applicants must have at least 5 years of professional experience to qualify for the program. The PSMFWA program will help natural resources agencies and non-government organizations meet their workforce planning goals and the self-improvement goals of current employees by providing a flexible, online curriculum. Learner Outcomes for PSMFWA Students: The PSMFWA degree is an integrated curriculum designed to provide advanced, professional training in four areas: (1) Core knowledge in fish or wildlife biology, ecology and management; (2) Natural resources policy; (3) Human dimensions of natural resources management; and (4) Professional skills and abilities. In addition, each student will participate in an intensive internship experience engaging students in real world work situations involving technical problems, teamwork, communication skills, and decision‐making.
