Minimum Requirements for Wildlife Biology and Conservation B.S.: 120 credits

Students must earn a C- grade or better in each course.

¹

Passing WLF F470 fulfills the baccalaureate capstone requirement for the Wildlife Biology and Conservation Program. Prior to registering for the capstone, students must have junior or senior class standing. 

Note: B.S. degree candidates are strongly urged to obtain work experience in wildlife-related positions with public resource agencies or private firms. Faculty members can help students contact potential employers.

Note: Students are not permitted to use one course to satisfy more than one major requirement. 

Requirements for biology teachers (grades 7-12)

Note: We strongly recommend that prospective secondary science teachers seek advising from the Alaska College of Education early in their undergraduate degree program so they can be appropriately advised of the State of Alaska requirements for teacher licensure. Students will apply for admission to the Alaska College of Education's postbaccalaureate teacher preparation program, a one-year intensive program, during their senior year. The above requirements apply to all candidates who apply to the Alaska College of Education for licensure in biology.
