Wild Life Biology (WLB)
Department of Integrative Biology, College of Biological Science
The Major in Wild Life Biology provides exposure to the ecological principles upon which the scientific management of wild life is based. This major prepares students for post-graduate work in ecology and management of wild life and provides a sound science background for students wishing to pursue careers in teaching, government service or the private sector.
Major (Honours Program)
Students may enter this major in semester 1 or any semester thereafter. A student wishing to declare the major must consult the Faculty Advisor. A minimum total of 20.00 credits is required to complete the major.
