Integration of wildlife science and management and veterinary medicine has become increasingly important with current diverse uses of wildlife and other renewable natural resources. As wildlife habitats dwindle and animal populations become more compressed, biologists must increase their attention towards disease diagnosis and abatement. This integrated curriculum allows the student to earn a 3+1 undergraduate degree program in Wildlife and Fisheries. For the first three years, the student matriculates into the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Then, if accepted into the Veterinary Medicine program in the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine, the student’s final year of the program consists of successful matriculation in the first year of study in the Veterinary Medicine Program. Successful graduates of this program are qualified to apply for Certified Wildlife Biologist with The Wildlife Society as well as being qualified to practice veterinary medicine.
