Wondering if a program like UVM’s would be of interest but I doubt that a state school would have full ride scholarships for international applicants. B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology | Wildlife and Fisheries Biology | The University of Vermont
If you are interested in fisheries, you might look at schools that have degrees in agriculture or natural resources, not engineering. What you are calling engineering is not always engineering in the US
I had two kids start college at the same time (different colleges), one in engineering the other in theater. The engineer needed 131 credits to graduate and she had 4 years to do it (her scholarship was for 8 consecutive semesters, and she needed that scholarship to pay for school). That’s about 16-18 credits every semester of mostly engineering courses. Her school did have a very active theater group composed of faculty, staff, and students but no major or minor.
Theater daughter was in a Bach. Fine Arts program. They did allow a double major with some other departments but not engineering. Her program required 120 credits, 65 within the theater and dance program. As you can see, there is no way to get an engineering degree (100+ credits of engineering courses) and 65 theater credits (plus more from the core curriculum in Arts and Sciences, courses like math, history, communications) in 4 years.
I think you should focus on engineering (or natural resources) and do theater as an activity.
Look at U of Wisconsin, Stevens Point https://www.uwsp.edu/cnr/Pages/Majors/Fisheries-and-Aquatic-Sciences.aspx UWSP also has a very fine theater department. It will be much (much much much) colder than Northern Africa.
Another school with agriculture and theater is Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology - Warner College of Natural Resources
Money is an entirely different matter. It is very hard to come by
But golly it sure is expensive. $61,000 a year. Even with an $18,000 scholarship that’s still $172,000.
The program doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for theatre.
Dalhousie in Canada does have fisheries engineering. However, it appears to be a graduate program. I do not know anything about it. However, if you are going to Canada and want to study anything with “marine” or “fisheries” in the name, Dalhousie is a good school to at least look at. Unfortunately I do not think that they give full scholarships to international students (you would need to check with them).
You might want to remember them if you are looking to get a master’s at some point in the future.
Thank you so much for your help !! I really appreciate it.
