University of Montana launches nation’s first joint wildlife biology and public administration degree

The University of Montana is launching a program that is the first for Montana, and also the entire nation.

The new program has a heavy focus on preparing students to take care of Montana’s outdoors and making sure they can succeed quickly after working in an entry level position.

This degree is so unique because it combines a four year bachelor’s of science degree in wildlife biology and a two year master’s degree in public administration, and allows the student to finish in five years instead of six.
