FISHERIES & WILDLIFE @ HMSC
OSU's Department of Fisheries and Wildlife offers a variety of courses relating to coastal ecology and the management of natural resources. The program is designed to provide a diverse array of hands-on educational experiences as well as traditional classroom instruction in fisheries science and marine resource management. Students in this program participate in field courses, complete two off-campus internships, and learn to think critically about conservation. Fisheries and Wildlife students gain intensive fieldwork, networking and research experience while learning and living on the HMSC campus in Newport.
