Description

Biodiversity & Wildlife Conservation (BDWC) is an interdisciplinary minor designed for students interested in protecting and enhancing natural systems and the diverse flora and fauna these systems support. The minor program allows students to explore aspects of biodiversity and wildlife conservation related to biology (foundational, organismal, and community aspects), dimensions of environmental science (longer-term change and planetary forces), and environmental studies (focusing on the relationship of human interactions and decision-making that affect extinction and protection efforts). Co-curricular and experiential learning are incorporated into the minor so that students have the opportunity to practice and reflect on applied skills.
