Bachelor of Science in Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology

The field of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology addresses basic and applied questions about fish and wildlife ecology, habitat use, conservation, production, harvest, and interactions with people, on scales ranging from individual organisms to ecosystems. Students develop and employ original approaches in quantitative analysis, experimental design, field studies, modeling and genetic techniques. There are three concentrations in this major: Fisheries Science, Wildlife Science, Conservation Biology. Fisheries Science Concentration: Students learn about the role of fish in aquatic ecosystems, fish biology, fish ecology, fisheries management and conservation. Emphasis on aquatic ecosystems and food webs, life history and ecology of important sport and commercial fishes, population and community dynamics, and theory and practice of fisheries management and conservation. Wildlife Sciences Concentration: Students are exposed to the historical development of Wildlife Management from anecdotal, observational practices to modern, scientific approaches used around the world. Principles of population analysis, management, protection and conservation of animals, particularly those of conservation, aesthetic, sport or food values in urban, rural and wilderness areas are covered. Conservation Concentration: Flexibility in course selection in this concentration allows students to focus their coursework on their area of professional interest, which may include environmental policy, international conservation, sustainable tourism, climate change, or wildlife disease.
