Best University for Wildlife Major?

College Majors
1

<p>So I want to be a wildlife biologist/conservationist so I'm looking at schools that will offer me a good Wildlife ecology/conservation program. I really want a school that will allow me to gain hands on experience working with various animals. Please help me decide which school to attend in the fall that you think will be best for my career. I know college is what I choose to make of it but all the feedback I can gain will help.</p>

<p>Schools I've applied to:</p>

<p>University of Georgia
Clemson University
University of Maine
University of Washington
Humboldt State University </p>

<p>Also if there are any other schools that have good wildlife programs please feel free to let me know! Thanks!</p>

<p>If you do a search of CC using keyword ‘wildlife’ you should find a couple of very helpful threads. My daughter is also interested in wildlife/field biology, though at present she’s decided to focus on marine science. She found some great programs in Colorado, Montana and Wisconsin in addition to some if those on your list. Most programs of that type will be at big state schools so you seem to be on the right track.</p>

<p>I would check out SUNY’s School of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF). They share property with Syracuse University, so you get the little school within a bigger school benefits. It looks like a great program and SUNY out of state tuition is more reasonable than most.</p>

<p>University of Vermont!</p>
