Wild Life Biology (WLB)

Department of Zoology, College of Biological Science.

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 management of wild life and provides a sound science background for students wishing to pursue careers in teaching, government service or the private sector.

Major (Honours Program)

A minimum total of twenty 20.00 credits is required to complete the major.
