A degree in wildlife management will open the doors to careers in state, regional, and federal agencies, as well as commercial businesses and non-profits. You can focus on conserving wildlife and natural resources, protecting habitats, managing wildlife populations, conducting research, reducing conflict between humans and wildlife, or contributing to policy administration. As our exceptional faculty participate in widespread research of wildlife conservation and ecology, they are your dedicated guides to student organizations, networking opportunities, internships, job openings, and graduate programs.
Zoologists and wildlife biologists are expected to be needed to help combat the loss of biodiversity caused by human activities, as well as to research climate-driven ecosystem changes. These workers also may be needed to develop and implement conservation plans to reduce threats to animals and protect natural resources.
Employment of zoologists and wildlife biologists is projected to grow 3 percent from 2022 to 2032.
