Bachelor of Science Degree
Wildlife
The wildlife program prepares
students for professional careers in wildlife research, management,
and education. Students apply biological, ecological, economic,
and social knowledge to develop and administer wildlife management
plans. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree. This Department
of Forestry and Natural Resources curriculum has common core requirements
with the fisheries and aquatic sciences, forestry, and natural resources
curricula. Sustainable management of natural resource systems—focusing
on forests, watersheds, and associated flora and fauna to meet the
needs of society---is emphasized.
