Rasmuson Fisheries Expansion
Revision of the current Bachelor of Sciences Degree
UAF’s undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Fisheries degree teaches students basic scientific principles involved in conservation and sustainability of fisheries resources. The B.S. degree prepares students for scientific research, fisheries management positions and related graduate level studies. The current BS degree will be revised and strengthened by this process and we expect our vibrant M.S and Ph.D. degree programs to be commensurately strengthened as well.
Some potential new courses to be developed are:
- Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management
- Fisheries Economics
- Decision-making Techniques in Fisheries Management
- Marine Policy
- The Politics of Ecosystem-Based Management
- Seafood Marketing
- Applied Fishery Science
- Subsistence in Alaska
- Traditional and Ecological Knowledge
- Fishing-Dependent Community Social Science
- Alaska’s Fishing Industry
- Seafood Safety
- Fishery Development
- Aquaculture in Alaska
- Industrial Fisheries
