A M.S. degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences (separate areas of specialization) is intended to educate students for management-level positions with state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, private companies, and for the pursuit of higher academic degrees. You will gain in-depth knowledge and research experiences that will allow you to contribute to understanding and developing solutions for the problems that impact our wildlife and fisheries resources. Through specifically identified study plans and mentoring, we strive to assist students in developing their intellectual capacity and skills in working with natural resources and people. Each student works directly alongside faculty mentors to propose and conduct an original scientific investigation.
