The Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology Department receives over 400 inquiries annually for our graduate program. Approximately 100 students apply for the eight to ten openings available each year. Our current enrollment is 45-50 active students. We limit the number of graduate students admitted to our program to ensure close contact between students and faculty. 

Note: Applications are reviewed throughout the year. However, applications for the Plan C Master's Degree are reviewed starting February 1. We prefer that all students begin in the Fall Semester in order to participate in our orientation seminar and take sequential courses. 

Graduate student offices are located in the Wagar Building. Computer laboratories, audio-visual equipment, field equipment, and research laboratories are available for graduate student use. Part-time technicians and workstudy students work on tasks supportive of research of faculty and graduate assistants.
