With Montana's low human population density and undisturbed landscapes, this is one of the best places in the world to see and study wildlife. The Wildlife Biology Program at the University of Montana is among top-ranked programs nationally for the quality of our educational programs and reserach. 

Students can earn a B.S. or M.S. in Wildlife Biology or a PhD in Fish & Wildlife Biology. Focus on ecology, population biology, wildlife biology, and critical thinking and quantitative skills so you can become a leader in bringing science to the dynamic management of wildlife and fish populations and their habitat, communities, and ecosystems.

The Master's of Science requires the demonstration of distinguished scholarship in a thesis based on original and creative work. It is not granted merely as a certificate of faithful performance of a prescribed program of studies and research.
