School of Environment and Sustainability
- Ecology & Conservation
- Fisheries & Wildlife Management
Our program engages a new kind of scientist: one whose ability to perform research with immediate relevance for solving problems is matched only by their skills in collaborating with affected communities. This scientist is also expected to incorporate citizens and citizen science into effective research, producing accessible and accurate results for utilization by both policy-makers and the public.
The Master of Science in Ecology program offers two tracks: Ecology & Conservation and Fisheries & Wildlife Management.
