Undergraduate students in this program can pursue a combined B.S.-M.S. degree through a streamlined five-year course of study. Those with an existing Bachelor of Science degree may complete the non-thesis M.S. in Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, which sometimes takes two years due to biennial scheduling of certain required courses. The program features studies in ecology, evolutionary biology, taxonomy, and natural sciences, complemented by instruction in policy, economics, and ethical considerations. Career opportunities span from environmental policy development to nature education, wildlife protection to museum collections management. Graduates often secure positions with nonprofits, government bodies, or ecological consulting companies, with approximately 90% working in related fields after completion.
