northern michigan univeristy
|
Northern Michigan University is located on the south shore of Lake Superior in beautiful Marquette, MI. Housed in the Biology Department, we offer a B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife Management as well as related degree paths in Biology: Ecology, Zoology, and General Biology. Graduate students can engage in M.S. programs that support natural resource research as well. Our programs in natural resources emphasize a solid core in biology combined with exceptional opportunities to work in natural habitats with wildlife, fish and invertebrates. Our students are encouraged to find their own path within natural resources whether it be in game management, habitat restoration, species conservation, or ecosystem science. Our students embrace all aspects of work with natural resources and that diversity of interest enlivens our program! Students often engage in undergraduate and graduate research projects as well as career-oriented internship experiences. We maintain strong relationships with the MI DNR, USFWS, NPS and NFS. Field courses and research experiences are also available with recent destinations including Mongolia, Zambia, the Caribbean, Brazil and, of course, the islands of Lake Superior. For more information, visit www.nmu.edu/biology or contact us at [email protected].

The University of North Dakota
Do you want to study fisheries and wildlife biology with immediate access to world-class outdoor recreational opportunities in a small town with big city amenities? Welcome to the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, situated on the border of North Dakota and Minnesota. The University of North Dakota (UND) is a research institution that offers an undergraduate degree (B.S.) in Fisheries and Wildlife Biology and graduate degrees (M.S. Thesis, M.S. Non-thesis, and Ph.D.) in Biology. The Prairie Pothole Region affords students access to an amazing outdoor classroom to learn about waterfowl and gamebird ecology, grassland ecology, disease ecology, and fisheries and aquatic ecology. Like the location, our program affords students the best of both worlds – small class sizes with opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research. Our program is also unique in that we first train students to think broadly as biologists in our Biology Department and then specifically in fisheries and wildlife biology. Our program also exposes students to emerging technology and emphasizes that fish and wildlife are part of a much larger social and ecological system. Active partnerships with the North Dakota Game and Fish, federal agencies, private industry, not-for-profit organizations, and international collaborations enhance the learning experience and job opportunities. With a dynamic Student Chapter of The Wildlife Society, students at all levels have opportunities to participate in a variety of service activities and attend conferences at the state and national level. For more information contact Susan Felege (wildlife ecology, [email protected]) or Mark Kaemingk (fisheries and aquatic ecology, [email protected]).
University of nebraska - kearney
The University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK), located near the historic Platte River, is a public, residential university with a population of approximately 6,800 students. UNK offers a comprehensive B.S. degree in biology with an emphasis in wildlife (which also includes fish!). Students will gain broad training in molecular sciences and ecology but will also be able to select from a variety of zoology, human dimensions, and electives courses in order to tailor their programs to prepare for careers in state or federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, or private enterprise or to enter graduate school. Class sizes in the wildlife emphasis are no more than 24 students, emphasizing high contact between students and faculty. Undergraduate research is strongly emphasized throughout the program. The Department of Biology also offers M.S. thesis (on-campus) and non-thesis (distance) degrees for students looking to further their education. For more information, please contact Dr. Melissa R. Wuellner.
University of alaska fairbanks
The University of Alaska Fairbanks is America's arctic university. Its location just south of the arctic circle in the middle of some of the last unspoiled wilderness in the world provides unparalleled opportunities to study abundant and well-managed fish and wildlife. The Fisheries department and Wildlife program in the Biology and Wildlife department offer several undergraduate degrees including a B.S. in Fisheries and Marine Sciences, the nation's only B.A. in Fisheries, and a B.S. in Wildlife Biology and Conservation. In addition, M.S. degrees are offered in Fisheries, and Wildlife Biology and Conservation, and a Ph.D. is offered in Fisheries. With small class sizes and abundant research opportunities, students work closely with world-class experts in the fields of fisheries and wildlife biology. Hands-on experiences are emphasized through internships, research in the lab and out in the field, and abundant opportunities to work directly with fisheries and wildlife biology professionals at local, state and federal agencies, tribal organizations, industry, and non-governmental organizations. Upon graduation, our students are prepared for a variety of natural resource-related careers in Alaska and beyond. For more information contact Andy Seitz (Fisheries) and Knut Kielland (Wildlife Biology and Conservation).

bridgewater college
Bridgewater College, nestled in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, is a small liberal arts college with approximately 1,750 students from around the US and 16 countries. The Biology and Environmental Science department gives students the breadth for careers in the biological or environmental sciences but also allows them to add a wildlife emphasis on top of their major. Students interested in wildlife careers can specialize without sacrificing the benefits of a small school setting with a robust general education curriculum. Started in 2013, the wildlife biology program requires 23 credits of directed study in wildlife management and techniques, molecular biology, botany, zoology, and policy and ethics. Faculty expertise, combined with collaborations with the Virginia Chapter of The Wildlife Society, the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, and the Wildlife Center of Virginia, prepares our students for careers with state and federal agencies, graduate degree programs in wildlife biology, as well as those who wish to pursue Wildlife Biologist Certification through the Wildlife Society. For more information contact Dr. Tamara L. Johnstone-Yellin.
