The Fisheries minor is designed for students in the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry and Agriculture who would like an emphasis in fisheries or students in other programs who have an interest in fisheries or natural resource management. Students enrolled in Wildlife Ecology are not eligible for the Fisheries minor, but instead should pursue a concentration in Fisheries. The Fisheries Minor is designed to partially fulfill certification requirements of the American Fisheries Society for fishery biologists. Current certification requirements can be found at www.fisheries.org.
