4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Humboldt State University

Program Overview

The Fisheries Biology program is designed to produce graduates who can assess, develop and manage fish populations and fish habitats, as well as recreational and commercial fisheries. However, the program is broad enough to allow students to prepare for work in other areas such as fish population dynamics, systematics, marine and freshwater aquaculture, fish disease management, aquatic ecology, marine ecology, and water pollution. This program is the only fisheries management type program in California, and one of only a few west of the Rocky Mountains.
