Bachelor of Science in Wildlife & Fisheries Management

      The Bachelor of Science in Wildlife and Fisheries Management (Wildlife Management Track) from Texas Tech University is a degreeprogram that produces graduates who can be certified as wildlife biologists by The Wildlife Society. Students graduate with a working knowledge of wildlife biology, wildlife ecology, population management, and habitat management.  The philosophy of the Department is to give students experience in applied wildlife management programs that will prepare them for challenging careers in the field of natural resource management with government agencies, consulting firms, and conservation organizations.  Following completion of this degree program, one will be qualified as a wildlife manager, wildlife consultant, and wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, or as a game biologist with a private firm. Additionally, many of our graduates further their education by pursuing Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
