Our unique, five-year joint-degree program with The Bush School of Government and Public Service enables undergraduate students in Rangeland, Wildlife and Fisheries Management to enter the Master of Public Service and Administration program at the beginning of their fourth year. Known as a 3+2 program, this degree enables students to earn bachelor’s degree in three years and a master’s degree in two.
The program integrates the science and practice of managing fish and wildlife populations with policies for these public resources on both public and private lands. Students are prepared for careers in conservation with a foundation in life and physical sciences, mathematics and problem-solving skills that accommodate animals and their habitats within larger ecological systems.
This is made possible through the Boone and Crockett Club’s 2017 expanded endowment in the Texas A&M Foundation to honor Dr. James H. “Red” Duke. As the oldest wildlife conservation organization in North America, the Boone and Crockett Club promotes the conservation and management of wildlife and its habitat to preserve and encourage hunting while maintaining the highest ethical standards of fair chase and sportsmanship in North America.
