The Wildlife and Fisheries Biology program focuses on the biology, ecology, management, and conservation of animal populations that range from species common enough to be hunted/fished to species that are threatened and endangered. Management strategies include direct manipulation of populations or indirect manipulation through alteration of habitat and other landscape conditions. Courses emphasize applied ecology and techniques for bringing populations into balance and provide hands-on experience in labs and field trips. The four-year curriculum emphasizes interdisciplinary wildlife science and provides a background for many wildlife and fisheries-related positions.
