Program Overview

This program allows undergraduate science students to attend the University of West Alabama for approximately three years and then transfer to the School of Forestry at Auburn University. On completion of the requirements of the two institutions, the student receives a Bachelor of Science in Conservation and Field Biology from UWA and the Master of Natural Resources with a certified Wildlife Biologist concentration from Auburn. This preparation is ideal for the student who is at home in the natural environments of Alabama and the South. The background in field and conservation biology acquired at UWA provides a solid foundation in biological and ecological principles, while the wildlife biology training received at Auburn prepares the student to step into a job-rich field working with the tremendous diversity of wildlife in the region.
