The wildlife and fisheries resources curriculum prepares students for professional positions as wildlife and fish biologists, natural resources conservation officers, wildlife and fisheries managers and planners, wildlife or fisheries communication specialists, wildlife and fisheries toxicologists, and environmental consultants. The program is unique in the region as our graduates are fully trained in both the wildlife and fisheries fields. The curriculum provides a solid basic background in biology, ecology, and natural resource management. Students fulfilling this program will select a concentration in wildlife or fisheries (or both) to meet the requirements for professional certification as either a wildlife biologist (certified through The Wildlife Society) or fisheries biologist (certified through The American Fisheries Society). A careful selection of restricted electives enables students to specialize in related natural resource areas and to have the opportunity for widening employment in other environmental fields. Other options can be tailored to your objectives. Students will be able to consult with their advisor in the selection of courses from a group of restricted electives to develop their area of emphasis.
