Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Biology and Conservation

The core of this major will provide students with an integrated foundation in three subjects necessary to understand the origins, interactions, and protection of biological diversity: evolution, ecology, and conservation biology. The program provides a strong foundation in science in 1st year, subject area courses in subsequent years and access to a wide variety of electives both in ecology, evolution and conservation as well as non-science. The program offers a sound scientific background in preparation for careers in resource management, conservation, ecological consulting, teaching, and government service. This major also qualifies students for post-graduate work in ecology, evolutionary biology, environmental sciences, or wildlife management.
