Entrance into this emphasis is open only to students who, at the beginning of the junior year of the wildlife biology program, have a grade point average of 3.5 or above and who petition the faculty for entrance. Honors students must complete either WBIO 370, 470 and 494 (terrestrial option) or BIOL 308, 366 and WBIO 494 (aquatic option).
