Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences Minor

Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences Minor

The Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences minor offers a broad foundation in biodiversity conservation, ecosystem function and human influences on natural resources, as well as fish and wildlife biology.

You can earn a minor in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences online, through Oregon State's Ecampus, or on campus.


A sequence in general biology, at the 200 level, is a prerequisite for many courses in the online Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences minor. Students can find an equivalent biology series at a local college or take the online OSU Biology series: BI 204, 205, 206.

Students who have completed their bachelor's degree are not eligible to apply to the minor unless they also are pursuing a different bachelor's program. Therefore, we recommend any student who is looking for specific Fisheries and Wildlife undergraduate coursework but not the bachelor's degree to apply as a non-degree seeking student.  Please be aware that some upper division Fisheries and Wildlife classes and all upper division biology and zoology classes require the completion of a majors-level biology series.
