Learn to preserve and maintain biodiversity and the integrity of natural systems by earning your Bachelor of Science in Wildlife and Conservation at Texas A&M University-Commerce. In our program, you will gain tools to help restore and maintain the earth’s wildlife legacy while learning to protect its ecosystems. Through hands-on research in our university wetland, practical exercises, field trips, internships, and personal instruction in the classroom, you will gain marketable expertise in soils, ecology, botany and zoology – all of the knowledge and skills necessary to protect our planet.
Our graduates pursue careers as wildlife managers, park rangers, urban biologists, game wardens, ecologists, conservation planners, and more. They are prepared to excel in positions with governmental agencies and private organizations such as: Texas Parks and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Forest Service, the Nature Conservancy and the Audubon Society. Opportunities on private game ranches and nature centers are also available to graduates.
