Wildlife biology is the study of animals and animal behavior in their natural habitat. Wildlife biologists often work in research or wildlife conservation roles, within agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They may also work in environmental research firms, zoos or in higher education. Make the Alaska wilderness your classroom when you earn your degree in wildlife biology and conservation at UAF. This hands-on, research-intensive program gives you the chance to work closely with faculty researchers across a wide range of study areas, from molecules to ecosystems. Study wildlife biology in habitats ranging from the dense forests of southeastern Alaska to the Arctic tundra. Take field trips on the vast network of ski and walking trails of the UAF campus, and in the areas around Fairbanks. Work one-on-one with some of the world's top researchers and most innovative teachers.
