Description from UNL Admissions
Fisheries and Wildlife
Introduction
The fisheries and wildlife major gives students a broad education in natural resources and specialization in fisheries and wildlife. The curriculum meets minimum course requirements for U.S. government civil service and includes courses needed for certification in professional societies.
Fisheries and wildlife education at UNL has a long and proud history of preparing students to meet the challenges of a world that is increasingly responsive to preserving fisheries and wildlife habitat, protecting threatened and endangered species and the thoughtful management and conservation of natural ecosystems. UNL students also benefit from being in close proximity to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and other governmental agencies focused on wildlife and the environment. This association helps provide additional opportunities for internships, temporary and seasonal work and other activities.
