Requirements for the Degree in Wildlife Biology
Specific Prerequisites:
Undergraduate preparation must include the following: general biology,
entomology, soil science, and range management. Those courses in Group A below
which have not been taken at the undergraduate level must be taken at the graduate
level. Such leveling courses can be taken while the student is already taking graduate
courses but should be completed as early in a graduate program as scheduling permits.
Also recommended are: genetics, microbiology and organic chemistry.
Degree Requirements:
The curriculum for this degree is flexible and can be adjusted to the student's
needs and previous preparation. The following selection of courses is recommended:
A. 9 hours from the following biology courses: 5355, 5467,5470,5382, and 5483.
B. 9 hours from the following 6000-level courses in biology: 6301, 6310, 6312,
6315, and 6615.
C. 6 hours from the following courses in agriculture: 5379, 5398, 5399.
