Different Concentrations for MSU fisheries and wildlife students

At Michigan State University there are six different concentrations to the fisheries and wildlife degree. They are Conservation Biology, Fisheries Biology and Management, Wildlife Biology and Management, Water Sciences, Fish and Wildlife Disease Ecology and Management, and Pre-Vet. This information can be found in the fisheries and wildlife academic programs portion of MSU office of the Registrar.
Conservation Biology is the study of the Earth's biodiversity and ways to protect species and their habitats to save them from extinction.What do Conservation Biologist do? They analyze the current situations in an area such as population of animals and the destruction of the environment. They then use this information to propose plans to change destructive behavior.
Fisheries Biology and Management is a concentration that deals with protecting and regulating fish. The people with this concentration  gather information that make fisheries as productive as possible. As a manager you will have the ability to influence decision making and the responsibility do influence based on facts and not just opinions.
Wildlife Biology Management is protecting wildlife. You can get a job as an educator or law enforcement, policy maker and just a biologist.
Water Scientist monitor and assess the quality of water. They research the quality of water at different locations. Through this study they can test for anything harmful in the water supply and manage the situation.
Disease and Ecology Management's goal is to find ways to treat diseases found in animals or fish.
Pre-Vet is self explanatory the people in this concentration eventually want to become Vets and MSU is a great school for Vet Medicine.
