Wildlife Biology
Students interested in careers as wildlife biologists with state or federal wildlife agencies should consider this program. The program foundation emphasizes basic ecological and biological principles, and is expanded by program-specific classes in management and research concepts. Graduates meet educational standards of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for positions as Wildlife Biologist, Refuge Manager and Wildlife Inspector. Although graduates are qualified to pursue careers in wildlife science, they are encouraged to pursue further education in a wildlife graduate degree program to enhance their competitive position in a highly competitive field.
