Bachelors of Science
Wildlife Ecology Major
|
 The
wildlife ecology major provides students with a basic background
in the sciences plus additional interdisciplinary courses emphasizing
the management aspects of wildlife science. Students completing
the major in wildlife are employed by federal and state organizations
such as US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, National
Park Service, and Washington Department of Wildlife, as well as
nonprofit and private organizations. The core requirements plus
the approved electives in wildlife management may allow majors
to meet the U.S. Office of Personnel Management requirements for
wildlife biologist, wildlife refuge manager, general biologist,
and zoologist. Through judicious use of electives a student can
also meet additional civil service requirements for fish biologist,
range conservationist, and soil scientist. Wildlife students can
individualize and often enhance their professional development
by minoring in other subject such as communications, computer
science, and other natural resource fields (e.g., forestry).
