Bachelor of Science - Wildlife Ecology Conservation

The bachelor's degree in wildlife ecology and conservation prepares students to study wild animal populations and learn about ways to protect threatened and endangered species. Students will study how humans have impacted the environment and how humans can conserve important ecosystems, including forests and rangelands.

Classes will give students a strong foundation in basic science, including biology, chemistry and math, before they move on to classes specific to their major, such as managing wildlife populations, ecology and population biology, and environmental pollution. 

In addition to general major requirements, students take courses in plant and animal physiology and behavior, different kind of animal organisms, and plant biology.

Hands-on classes and both indoor and outdoor laboratories are a hallmark of this program, and graduates will be able to work with nationally renowned faculty to gain experience in both fieldwork and research.
