Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation/Master of Science in Insect and Wildlife Environmental Education

The Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology offers a 4 plus 1 BS/MS that allow students to complete both the Bachelor of Sciences degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation and the Master of Sciences degree in Insect and Wildlife Environmental Education. All requirements of both degree programs must be satisfied. Up to six credits of graduate coursework in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation may be applied toward satisfying the requirements of both degrees.

The Wildlife Ecology and Conservation (BS) major is for students with interests in the biological aspects of environmental science, e.g., species conservation, wildlife biology, or ecology. It requires basic sciences, specialty courses in vertebrates, insects, plants, conservation, and other supporting areas. The curriculum's flexibility accommodates career goals ranging from wildlife biologist to nature education, conservation advocacy, research, and wildlife management. Meeting the requirements for the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation major should provide the student with the minimum educational requirements for certification as an Associate Wildlife Biologist by The Wildlife Society, the professional society for wildlife biologists. Students will be exposed to a wide array of hands-on, discovery-based learning opportunities.
