Conservation Science for a Sustainable Future

Our undergraduate program emphasizes ecological principles, and their application, to the challenges of biodiversity conservation and sustainability, especially with regard to wildlife and their habitat.

Our department offers the only Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation in the state of Florida. Through our undergraduate coursework, with its strong emphasis on interdisciplinary problem solving, students learn ecological theory, practical field techniques, and research methods.

Known for the excellence and rigor of our teaching and research, our undergraduate program prepares students for a wide variety of careers in research, applied wildlife management, conservation advocacy, law enforcement, veterinary medicine, and education.

Our graduates will, in many cases, work for federal or state agencies, but a significant number pursue careers in the private sector. Some graduates seek advanced degrees in the sciences; however, students can find national, entry-level employment with the B.S. degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation.
