The Bachelor of Science degree in Fisheries & Wildlife Science offers flexibility. The undergraduate curriculum is composed of a core and a Specialization which the student designs according to individual interests and goals. Each student designs their own Specialization to complement the basic science and social science core. With the guidance of a faculty advisor, diverse advanced offerings are selected by the student. Required internships and senior capstone courses also can be developed to support individual educational goals.
Some sample Specializations might include:
Large Mammal Ecology
Fisheries Management
Stream Ecology
Endangered Species Conservation Biology
Fish & Wildlife Law Enforcement
Habitat Restoration
Avian Ecology
Marine Biology
Aquaculture
Environmental Education
........many others are possible.
