The Major in Wild Life Biology provides exposure to the ecological principles upon which the scientific management of Wild Life is based. This major prepares students for post-graduate work in ecology and mangement of wild life and provides a sound science background for students wishing to pursue careers in teaching, government service or the private sector.
