Federal Government Wildlife Biologist Requirements Note that
Federal jobs and most State wildlife/resource management jobs require that
you have at least 9 hours of botany (plant science) courses. Many of
our Ecology, Evolution, and Environment graduates do not take enough plant
courses to satisfy this requirement. You can count 2 credit hours from
BIOL 151 as a plant course. In addition, you will need two other plant
courses, one of which must involve a significant component of plant
identification or taxonomy.

Obtaining
Certification as a Wildlife Biologist
Biological Sciences majors in the Ecology,
Evolution & Environment concentration (BIOE) who are interested in a career in
Wildlife Management, Resource Management or a similar field, may be interested
in applying to the Wildlife Society for certification as an Associate Wildlife
Biologist.
Information on the Wildlife Society's certification program is at the following

Wildlife Society Certification Program
For more information, contact
Dr. Essner or
Dr. Minchin. We have worked out a
sample BIOE curriculum that should allow you to qualify for certification in
four years. |
