Wildlife Management Track

From white-tailed deer to Texas horned lizards and everything in between, wildlife are a valued part of our natural heritage and contribute to ecological health, economic vigor and quality of life for all.  

The Wildlife Management track builds a strong foundation in managing wildlife populations and their habitats while addressing modern conservation challenges. Coursework includes key topics such as wildlife population dynamics, anatomy and physiology, habitat management principles and wildlife techniques. A summer field practicum and internship requirement provide intensive field experiences and cement key principles needed to successfully advance through the program and ultimately enter the field as a professional.
