Students enrolled in the Wildlife and Conservation Biology major study a combination of the natural sciences and principles of managing wildlife populations and their habitats. This major is one of very few in the United States that fulfills the educational requirements for certification as an Associate Wildlife Biologist by The Wildlife Society, the international organization for professionals in the wildlife field.
