Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences: This track focuses on fisheries and aquatic resources, including their science and management. Topics include fisheries management, fish ecology and systematics, marine biology, and aquatic environmental assessment. This track gives you the option of becoming a Certified Fisheries Professional.

Wildlife: This track focuses on wildlife science, management, and administration. Topics include wildlife biology, terrestrial habitat ecology, environmental assessment, and wildlife management. This track gives you the option of becoming a Certified Wildlife Biologist.

Pre-Veterinary Medicine can also be added: In addition to one of the tracks above, students in this major can formally pursue a pre-vet emphasis. This requires additional biology and chemistry courses.
