Concentration in
Wildlife Science and Management
The Wildlife Science and Management concentration is designed to allow students to explore the scientific and applied aspects of wildlife science and management and gain experience in field, laboratory, and analytical methods. Students enrolled in this curriculum are often active in the University of Maine’s Student Chapter of The Wildlife Society. This curriculum allows students to meet the requirements for professional certification by The Wildlife Society. In addition to the core curriculum, students must take the following courses:

* These courses can be used to meet your General Education requirements.
** These courses should be complementary and additive to the core curriculum. For example, if you have taken WLE 423 then consider FTY 349 because you cannot count WLE 432 twice.
Non-Wildlife students will need two more communication courses. |
