About the course

The M.S. degree in wildlife biology and conservation provides students with advanced education, training, and research opportunities in the biology of wild animals and their interactions with people and the environment. The geographic location of UAF offers students unparalleled opportunities to study a diversity of wildlife species in vast northern ecosystems (temperate coastal rainforests, boreal forests, arctic tundra) and state-of-the-art facilities. With the Arctic warming 3-4 times faster than the global average, our graduate students are on the front line of research on the relationships between climate change and wildlife. Some areas of expertise within our graduate program include wildlife population dynamics, species interactions (plant-animal, predator-prey), nutrition and physiology, landscape and movement ecology, management and the human dimensions of wildlife science.
