Professional Science Masters Program in Fisheries and Wildlife Administration
Starting Spring, 2012, the Professional Science Masters in Fisheries And Wildlife Administration (PSMFWA) degree will be awarded by the OSU Graduate School. This 57-credit, non-thesis degree will be available online through OSU's Ecampus program or on campus at OSU's Corvallis campus. Applications are being accepted now - please apply by December 31 for admission in spring term 2012, or by June 1 for fall term 2012.
Fisheries and wildlife resource conservation is a challenging profession involving biological, ecological, management, policy, and social systems. Although many professionals obtain entry-level positions with B.S. degrees, mid- and upper-level positions typically require additional training in biology, quantitative methods, and business and communication skills. The PSMFWA degree is designed for early- and mid-career professionals who desire graduate-level training to advance their careers; applicants must have at least 5 years of professional experience to qualify for the program. The PSMFWA program will help natural resources agencies and non-government organizations meet their workforce planning goals and the self-improvement goals of current employees by providing a flexible, online curriculum.
Students who start their programs in spring term or fall term of the same year will be a part of the same student cohort. All students are expected to attend a one week PSM Program orientation on the Oregon coast during the 3rd week of September of their cohort year. The PSMFWA is taught primarily as a distance, online curriculum, although students may also take credits in-residence at OSU or at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. For more details on the PSMFWA program and instructions on how to apply, please visit the PSM website and our Ecampus page.
