Wildlife science is the application of ecological knowledge in a manner that strikes a balance between the needs of wildlife populations and the needs of people. Coursework and faculty expertise span the animal kingdom and the planet, with a programmatic emphasis on North American species, policies, and practices.  The focus is applied ecology, and students gain the skills, knowledge, and abilities required to meet contemporary and future challenges facing wildlife such as restoring habitat, securing populations of rare and vulnerable species, mitigating human-wildlife conflicts, controlling invasive species and disease, managing sustainable harvests, and ensuring species persistence under climate change.

Explore how genetic data is applied to conservation management and wildlife law enforcement to address challenges facing the sector. There is global recognition of the benefits of using genetic data to support wildlife conservation and management decisions. However, implementation of genetic approaches is still rare, partly due to a lack of personnel with the knowledge and skills to apply theoretical and practical population genetics to conservation practice.

The progress of all master's candidates is monitored biannually by the supervisor and the postgraduate coordinator. A candidate's study may be terminated if the progress is unsatisfactory or if the candidate is unable to finish his/her studies during the prescribed period.
