WILDLIFE BIOLOGY PROGRAM
The Wildlife Biology Program has been established to coordinate Edinboro's cur-
ricular offerings with those of other institutions to provide a particular specializa-
tion. For example, a student may apply to The Pennsylvania State University for
admission to the associate degree (two year) major in Wildlife Technology. If
admitted, and the student completes the program successfully, the credits can be
applied to an Edinboro University curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Arts or
Bachelor of Science. It is anticipated that the students entering Edinboro will have
taken the following courses:
Dendrology
Forest Protection
Vertebrate Zoology
Habitat Management
Wildlife Mensuration
Fisheries Management
Intro to Wildlife Management
Wildlife Management Techniques
Animal Care
Aerial Photo Interpretation
Outdoor Recreation
An alternate route is for a student to start at Edinboro, complete two years of
study, and then apply for admission as a transfer student to the two-year Wildlife
Technology major at the DuBois campus of Penn State. Again, if the student is
admitted and successfully completes the two-year WLT program there, Edinboro
will award the bachelor's as above. A student following the latter route should
contact the admissions office at the DuBois campus of Penn State, DuBois, Pa.,
15801 regarding admission. This should be done early in the year preceding the
time of anticipated entrance. The various courses at Edinboro University which
deal with wildlife are described in this catalogue under Biology courses.

The department offers course work leading to an associate degree in business
administration, baccalaureate degrees in economics and business administration,
and a minor program in economics. The B.S. degree in business administration
offers six concentrations: accounting and forensic accounting, comprehensive
business administration, financial services, marketing, and management informa-
tion systems. The overriding goal of all of these programs is to prepare students
for a successful professional career in the field he or she has chosen. The depart-
ment recognizes that an integral part of this preparation is the exposure of stu-
dents to the liberal arts, and sciences and so each of the programs offered by the
department has this general education exposure as a required component.
The department actively participates in the University internship program, assist-
ing students in placement with regional business organizations to gain practical
employment experience. Academically superior juniors and seniors may be nom-
inated for membership in a national business honor society.
In order to be graduated from a program offered by the department, the student
must have a 2.0 cumulative grade point average in all courses taken in the depart-
ment offered for graduation.
