BA in Biology - Wildlife Biology and Conservation in Muncie United States | Ball State University

In the modern era, rapid industrial development and surging population numbers have resulted in shrinking natural environments for the plants and animals crucial to maintaining ecological balance. This makes responsible stewardship and protection of surrounding wildlife increasingly critical. The wildlife biology and conservation program focuses on wild species, vegetation, and sustainable habitat management. By studying disciplines such as forestry, plant identification, animal biology, ecosystems, and mammal science, you'll gain the skills needed for wildlife preservation careers with government bodies, NGOs, or environmental consultancies. This specialization also provides strong foundations for advanced graduate studies in these fields. Furthermore, our curriculum helps meet the qualifications for professional certification as a wildlife biologist through The Wildlife Society.
