Make an Impact in the field of conservation.

Dive into biology, environmental studies, human impact and policy to understand how nature works—and how to save it. Explore the science behind ecosystems, endangered species, and how human choices shape the natural world. 

Students study species, habitat, and pollution in the U.S. and worldwide, gaining insight into the drivers of environmental decline. Our minor/ concentration prepares students from any major to understand and contribute to conservation. Courses emphasize global and ethical perspectives, highlighting the roles of economics, policy, and society in managing natural resources and protecting wildlife populations.

Fieldwork and Hands on Learning

As with all Environmental and Sustainability studies majors and minors, you won’t just sit in a classroom—you’ll get hands-on experience through real-world projects and field opportunities. Whether you’re dreaming of becoming a wildlife biologist or simply want to help save the planet, BDWC is your first step toward a future in conservation.
