Aquatic Sciences: Fisheries Concentration, BS


About the Program

The Fisheries concentration will provide students with applied training relevant to fisheries science and management fields. It will build on what was previously offered in the FAQS curriculum by offering new courses focused on Fish Population Dynamics and Practical Fisheries Management. The Fisheries concentration is developed such that when a student completes the major/concentration she/he would have completed all coursework necessary to qualify as a Certified Fisheries Professional through the American Fisheries Society (www.fisheries.org).
