What will I learn in a wildlife ecology and conservation degree program?

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

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

In addition to general major requirements, you'll 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 our program, and you'll be able to work with nationally renowned faculty to gain experience in both fieldwork and research.
