What Can I do With a Major

Major : Fisheries and Wildlife

Description of Major:

Fisheries and Wildlife degree in The School of Natural Resources is based on a program of study that includes communications, quantitative skills and basic courses in physical and social sciences. Core classes in biology and ecology and specialized courses which feature animal populations and their aquatic and terrestrial environments enhance the learning experience. Some areas of study include wildlife ecology, water quality, habitat management, and fishery science and conservation biology. After Fisheries and Wildlife students gain a strong foundation of scientific knowledge in the classroom, they benefit from practical field experiences. University-managed conservation areas located near campus allow students to study fish, birds and other animals in their natural habitat.
