Wildlife
CENTER for NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION

Wildlife majors are interested in careers involving wild animals, or related to wildlife and conservation. They build upon their general understanding of animals and the habitats in which they live by studying biology, zoology, and ecology. They may choose to pursue internships at zoos, aquariums, wildlife refuges, or animal rehabilitation centers as veterinary technicians, zoo keepers, or wildlife technicians. They are keen on being connected to wildlife whether their career takes them indoors or outside. And they live their passion to help others and the natural world.
