Tailored for Your Career
“RWFM was a natural choice since I knew I wanted a career in wildlife science. My favorite aspects of our department are the abundant opportunities for outreach and field experience. There is so much learning and professional development you can access outside of the classroom by talking to your professors and joining professional student organizations like our student chapters of The Wildlife Society and American Fisheries Society.”
