Students selecting the wildlife management option will be duly qualified to work as wildlife managers and foresters. We believe this gives our wildlife graduates a competitive advantage when entering the job market.
Wildlife management deals with habitat manipulation.

Our wildlife program offers courses allowing students to meet The Wildlife Society s educational requirements for certification. In addition there are several wildlife electives offered. These include Non-game Wildlife Ecology, Wildlife Techniques, Urban Wildlife Management, as well as courses from the Biology Department such as Herpetology and Ichthyology. Career Opportunities Graduates with a wildlife-forestry degree may obtain positions with state or federal agencies, private consulting firms, timber industry, and hunting preserves.
