Undergraduate Program

Imagine yourself studying fish populations on the shores of a remote lake in Oregon, investigating wild turkeys in Missouri, examining elk here in Michigan, or teaching the secrets of our country's national parks and forests to eager, excited children. Or perhaps, you're interested in pollution and environmental implications, public health, or environmental policy. A degree in fisheries and wildlife from Michigan State University can prepare you for these and many other rewarding careers.

Students majoring in fisheries and wildlife typically prepare for professional careers as fisheries and wildlife managers, biologists, naturalists and applied ecologists. However, graduates may also pursue related career opportunities as conservation offers, environmental consultants or administrators with federal, state and private agencies and organizations concerned with environmental management. Whether you're more comfortable working a busy office or out in the wilderness, there's a place for you in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife.
