The Wildlife Ecology and Management program at University of Wisconsin\u2013Stevens Point prepares students to study, manage, and conserve wildlife populations and their habitats through science-based practices and hands-on field experience. Offered as both a major and a minor, the program provides students with the ecological knowledge and management skills needed for careers in wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, research, and natural resource management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wildlife Ecology and Management Major gives students a strong foundation in wildlife biology, ecology, conservation, and land management while offering opportunities to pair their degree with complementary minors such as captive wildlife<\/a>, conservation biology<\/a>, and conservation law enforcement<\/a>. These areas allow students to expand their expertise in topics ranging from wildlife rehabilitation and zoo management to invasive species ecology and environmental law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Wildlife Minor is ideal for students in the College of Natural Resources who want to deepen their understanding of wildlife ecology, management, and conservation while pursuing related majors such as Forestry, Environmental Science, or Conservation Law Enforcement. Through wildlife-focused coursework and experiential learning opportunities, students gain valuable skills that support careers in conservation and natural resource management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
