Bachelor of Science in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences

The undergraduate bachelor's degree in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences prepares students for a variety of careers related to the conservation and management of fish and wildlife and their habitats that considers how individual and cultural values influence conservation. Many students in our program state they want to make a difference in the world. If you are interested in recovering endangered species, managing populations of fish and wildlife for sustainable harvest, restoring habitats and ecosystems, conserving biodiversity, mitigating the ecological impacts of climate change, conducting research, contributing to wildlife law enforcement, understanding how human decisions influence conservation, or educating the next generation about conservation, this degree will help you achieve your goals. Our graduates most commonly work for state and federal agencies (e.g., Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service), tribal agencies, non-governmental organizations (e.g., The Nature Conservancy, Trout Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited), educational institutions, and the private sector (e.g., aquaculture, environmental consulting). We offer our degree on-campus in Corvallis, with some courses offered at the Hatfield Marine Science Center, and online through Ecampus.
