The Wildlife and Fisheries Biology Program focuses on the biology, ecology, and conservation of managed animal populations including those that are hunted, fished, threatened, or endangered. Students learn about and develop skills in management strategies including direct and indirect manipulation of populations and communities and their habitats.
The undergraduate four-year curriculum in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology emphasizes interdisciplinary wildlife and fisheries science and provides a background for many wildlife and fisheries-related positions. Courses focus on applied ecology and techniques for managing dynamic animal populations and communities in a changing environment and offer hands-on experience in labs and field trips.
