Unique to the NC State Fisheries and Wildlife Program is the undergraduate six-week summer camp experience. This course offers a period of intense study and practical application in fisheries and wildlife sciences. Masters degrees in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences, thesis and non-thesis are offered through the NC State Fisheries and Wildlife Program. The Ph. D. is available through the academic departments. A concerted effort is made to provide a thoroughly balanced approach to the study of wildlife, fisheries and aquaculture.
Students observe and analyze systems at the population, community and ecosystem levels.
The Program is equally committed to teaching, research and extension. Students benefit from the additional resources within the Raleigh, NC community which bring many real-world concepts and techniques to fisheries and wildlife research and problem solving. Faculty and staff provide an intimate level of support for students in the Fisheries and Wildlife Program. Nationally recognized research is conducted by most faculty through the NC Agricultural Research Service. Seven faculty hold appointments as Extension Specialists in the NC Cooperative Extension Service and serve to inform and guide the public.
