Fishing or Wildlife Management College

[Steve F]

A guy that works with my wife was asking if I knew of any college that his son can attend that teaches wildlife management. I think that Salisbury has some kind of wildlife thing but I don’t know of any others. Do any of you guys know of any colleges that offer such a thing?

NC State has one of the most recognized schools in the area of natural resource management: http://cnr.ncsu.edu

If you are looking for a Marine Science program, I went to Coastal Carolina Univ in South Carolina and they have one of most recognized Marine Science programs in the country. The program employs aspects of biology, chemistry, geology, and physics toward the study of the ocean environment, not like many programs that focus on biological aspects.

Maryland students who majored in Marine Science used to get in-state tuition at CCU. However I believe that program was ended when UMd added their marine biology dept. I know some students were disappointed as the Marine biology program wasnt as comprehensive as the CCU Marine Science program. I am not sure if the program was ever reinstated. May be worth checking out. I graduated about 14 years ago and my degree is in political science so that is as much as I can tell you.

I know from growing up in NJ that Stockton State College outside of Atlantic City also offers a Marine science program.

Steve,
Friend of mine's son is attending Frostburg. This summer he did his internship (I guess you call it) at SPSP. He is looking to become an NRP in the future.

I'm currently attending Penn State University for Forest Management and a Minor in wildlife. They're also well known for their Major in Wildlife management. I'm pretty sure they have a fisheries science, but I've never looked into it.

Never mind

Virginia Tech offers a program in fisheries management, but it is mostly freshwater. I paid instate tuition even though I was a MD resident when I attended.
