The Wildlife and Fisheries major is one of  the specializations in the Natural Resources Management (NRM) BSc degree at UNBC administered by the Ecosystem Science and Management Program.  It provides students with a solid foundation in wildlife and fisheries biology with considerable indoor and outdoor laboratory experience.  It also exposes students to an integrated approach to resource issues that confront today's professionals.  As such, the Wildlife and Fisheries major encompasses a combination of theoretical and applied ecology that prepares students for different avenues including public- and private-sector employment as well as  graduate studies.
