Students who wish to seek employment immediately following receipt of a B.S. degree or pursue advanced degrees, and wish to obtain positions in fisheries science, aquaculture and/or aquatic management should select this option. Employment is possible in state and federal agencies, with limited positions in private industry. A Master of Science (M.S.) degree will allow an individual to be more competitive, particularly if an advanced position and a higher salary is desired. This degree is intended for serious, academically strong students who can maintain an A-B grade record (GPA > 3.00), which is the minimum required for admittance into graduate degree programs.
