University of Central Missouri

The University of Central Missouri is on the forefront of protecting animals and plants from extinction, over-population, disease and other threats to environmental health. As an undergraduate student in UCM’s Bachelor of Science in Biology, with an emphasis on Wildlife and Natural Resource Conservation, you’ll be well-prepared for graduate studies and to work in an array of wildlife conservation degree jobs. Biology faculty at the University of Central Missouri teach field-based skills in monitoring and managing wildlife populations and their environments. They use an active learning format that emphasizes teamwork, communication, research and hands-on field studies and analysis. At UCM, you’ll experience a rarity among colleges with fish and wildlife majors - our on-campus Pertle Springs Nature Preserve, a 300-acre outdoor classroom. Here, you’ll apply current techniques used by field biologists, such as experimental and computational methods, sampling and biological research to explore the real world of animals and plants.
