Bachelor of Science [B.S] (Fish Conservation)
Field of Study:
30,867/Yr
The Fish Conservation Major is for students interested in research and management of aquatic animals and ecosystems, including shellfish, endangered species, sport fish, and aquaculture systems. Most graduates work for state or federal conservation agencies, environmental consulting firms, or public utilities. Options are offered for both freshwater fisheries conservation and marine fisheries conservation. Because many jobs in this field require a master’s degree, the program emphasizes preparation for graduate school.
Career Opportunities
The majority of graduates go on to internships or entry-level permanent positions with state or federal government agencies that practice fish and wildlife management. Our fisheries graduates most often have been recruited by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Virginia Marine Resources Commission, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, and the U.S. Forest Service, and wildlife students by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
