Bachelor of Science in 渔业及水产科学

学位提供: Bachelor of Science in fisheries and aquatic sciences

Our global and local freshwater resources are essential to both ecosystem stability and viability, as well as the many goods and services upon which we all depend. These natural freshwater resources are under increasing threat. Our ability to successfully understand, 保护, manage these resources for future generations demands scientific insight and understanding that can be used to inform wise management decisions. This major is intended for students interested in shaping this future through the specific lens of hands-on scientific and taxonomic training, the ability to gain certification through the American Fisheries Society, developing expertise in molecular ecology and mapping/global information skills, through understanding of relevant public policies. The major is designed to provide students with the opportunity to participate in research projects and to develop identification skills for freshwater plants and/or algae, 水生昆虫, 和鱼. We also provide detailed field sampling experiences and the contemporary ecological theory that best guides wise management for both river and lake ecosystems. 学生 with this major will be competitive for employment with state and federal agencies, 环境咨询公司, tribal and nongovernmental organizations, 非营利性环保组织, 以及研究生水平的研究.
