Overview

Biological Sciences majors selecting this sequence will receive broad training in Conservation Biology.

The Biological Sciences (Biology - Conservation Biology) program from Illinois State University will also prepare students for graduate studies in Conservation Biology, and for internships and entry-level positions in conservation-oriented non-governmental organizations, state and federal governmental organizations, and environmental consulting firms.

Why study Biology - Conservation Biology?

Biology is the study of living organisms, but those organisms and their habitats that contribute to the life support system of Earth are declining. Conservation Biology is the science that works on understanding these living systems so that protection, maintenance and restoration of species and their habitats can be done.

With courses such as Ecology, Evolution, Conservation of Animal and Plant Biodiversity, Botany, and Zoology, students in this major will get exposure into a variety of conservation areas, including environmental, animal, and human conservation.

Conservation biologists work in non-governmental and governmental conservation organizations, environmental consulting firms and academia.
