Abstract

Abstract The undergraduate curricula of 17 fisheries programs were examined from lists of required courses. Only 15% of coursework was elective for the average curriculum. Humanities, general biology, and physical sciences made up over 70% of the average requirements. Total requirements for humanities and general biology were inversely proportional to total requirements for forestry and agriculture courses. Total requirements for fisheries and aquatic biology courses were inversely proportional to total requirements for wildlife and fisheries-wildlife courses. Plans for curricular revision indicate that combined fisheries-wildlife programs will increase and that multiple-option fisheries programs may become more common.
