Understand the science. Lead the change.


Our department gives you the critical-thinking skills and hands-on training to solve complex environmental challenges from the ground up.

Solving these challenges requires new, diverse voices – including yours. As a Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology student, you’ll be part of an inclusive community from all backgrounds that works together to advance environmental justice and find innovative solutions.

Your career begins here. We prepare you to become a leader in academia, government agencies, or the nonprofit sector. You’ll graduate ready to make your mark as a researcher, manager, or advocate for the planet’s fish and wildlife.
