Fisheries and Wildlife Management: Bachelor of Science
Program Description
Fisheries and Wildlife Management programs place a strong emphasis on understanding the relationship between organisms and their habitats by blending a conceptual understanding of fish and wildlife ecology and population dynamics with practical skills obtained during laboratory and field exercises. Students graduating from this rigorous, applied curriculum can meet the qualifications of state and federal natural resource management agencies as technicians and biologists.
These programs require completion of general education requirements and electives so that at least 125 credits are earned.
Available degrees (see specific degree requirements further down the page):
