Wildlife and Fisheries Resources, MS

Program Description

Those who are interested in pursuing a Master’s degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Resources should have sound undergraduate training in the biological or related sciences. Initially, applicants should contact the faculty members whose research interests are closest to their own. This online degree offers programs of study designed to emphasize relationships between wild animals and their changing environments and production of aquatic organisms.

Students are required to have completed a bachelor’s degree, preferably in a natural science, with a minimum of 30 credit hours in natural sciences. Students accepted without the appropriate course background will be required to make up these deficiencies as outlined by the Graduate Student Admission Committee and consistent with University admission policies.

This degree program is designed primarily for students with substantial experience in natural resources who wish to enhance their professional degree skills. The non-thesis project must be substantial in nature and result in an extended report addressing a major problem or issue relevant to the field of wildlife management, fisheries management, natural resources or environmental studies.
