The Fisheries and Wildlife undergraduate program explores the dynamic relationship between people and nature through a curriculum built on three core pillars: (1) studying Earth's ecosystems and wildlife ecology, (2) examining diverse human perspectives on natural resource use, and (3) applying science-based management strategies to address global sustainability challenges. Students engage with life sciences, social sciences, and hands-on field/lab techniques, complemented by experiential opportunities like internships or international study. The program's intimate class sizes and committed faculty create an engaging learning environment. Ideal for those passionate about biological sciences, social sciences, or environmental policy, this degree opens doors to careers in conservation, wildlife management, ecological consulting, and related fields. Alumni frequently work with government agencies, environmental nonprofits, private sector firms, and academic institutions. Effective wildlife management requires integrating ecological knowledge with human dimensions—our curriculum emphasizes these critical interdisciplinary connections between natural systems and societal factors.
