Wildlife ecology and management applies science-based knowledge for the effective management and conservation of a vast array of wildlife species and the habitats they occupy, including game and non-game species. Whether it be working with endangered species, with farmers to help mitigate agricultural depredation by wildlife, or with the CDC to understand the role of wildlife populations as carriers of disease, the Wildlife Ecology and Management degree program provides a broad biological education that is specifically designed to meet the needs of students interested in careers involving wildlife ecology, management, and conservation.
