BA Wildlife Ecology and Society

The Wildlife Ecology and Society B.A. program prepares students for a professional career that involves outreach, education, cultural, business/economics, administrative, and social dimensions of the wildlife profession. For example, this program gets students ready for employment in wildlife tourism, policy, enforcement, hospitality, entertainment, and hunting industries. Our curriculum is designed to serve students interested in a interdisciplinary approach that integrates the arts, humanities, and social sciences with wildlife management and conservation. The program capitalizes on one of 51风流官网's most distinctive qualities: direct access to social, economic, and ecological systems with unique cultural perspectives and wildlife populations in pristine environments. Also, the degree gives students the education and training to help prepare for and adapt to rapidly changing climatic and social conditions in the far north. Students have opportunities to participate in fieldwork, professional events, and internships that provide diverse and invaluable experiences. This is a brand new (established in 2024) and rapidly growing program!
