Globally, fish and wildlife resources hold significant ecological, social, and economic value. Skilled professionals are essential for responsible management of these resources across both public and private territories. As human demands and environmental pressures intensify, fisheries and wildlife experts must possess comprehensive knowledge and technical expertise to address diverse, intricate management challenges. The Wildlife Society, the leading professional association for wildlife biologists and managers, has established baseline certification criteria for wildlife biologists. These standards, paired with recommended NDSU coursework options, appear in the sample curriculum. Students should collaborate closely with academic advisors to tailor their studies toward specific career objectives. Program details available at: https://www.ndsu.edu/academics/programs/zoology/
