Top Undergraduate Colleges for Wildlife Majors

Hey guys! I'm a rising junior who has a serious passion for wildlife and conservation. Do any of you know which colleges are known for their fabulous undergraduate wildlife major programs?

Absolutely! For undergraduate studies in wildlife conservation and related fields, there are several U.S. institutions that stand out.

First off, the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) has an exceptional Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology program. The course operates under the broader Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology, which has a strong emphasis on fieldwork and offers students opportunities to participate in research projects.

Another great option is Cornell University. Its College of Agriculture and Life Sciences offers a program in Natural Resources where students can get involved in a variety of wildlife conservation projects.

Colorado State University is another excellent place for wildlife studies. Their Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology major is part of the Warner College of Natural Resources, which is one of the largest and best-ranked colleges of its kind in the U.S.

Montana State University also has a strong wildlife program. Their Fish and Wildlife Management program is known for its hands-on, immersive approach, offering plenty of opportunities for fieldwork, internships, and research.

Finally, don't forget about Humboldt State University in California. While it might not be as well-known, its Wildlife program has a strong reputation. It emphasizes hand-on learning with countless field trip opportunities in the diverse ecological surroundings.

Good luck with your college search!
