Bachelor's Degree in Wildlife and Outdoor Enterprise Management
B.S. in wildlife and outdoor enterprise management
K-State’s wildlife and outdoor enterprise management program trains students to become managers at hunting preserves and resorts, game bird production companies, fishing resorts, outdoor experience companies and other outdoor-related businesses.
The K-State difference
While our students take courses in wildlife and fisheries management, this program is not a traditional wildlife and fisheries biology program. It incorporates a series of business, hospitality management, natural resources, and wildlife and fisheries management courses with outdoor skills courses.
The program was designed with input from working professionals across the U.S. In addition to a comprehensive general education, students gain working knowledge in these areas:
- Basic scientific principles governing the management of natural resources
- Outdoor skills needed by wildlife enterprise operators and customers
- Business management and marketing
- Business finance and accounting
