Rasmuson Fisheries Expansion
Development of a Fisheries Minor
With the enhancement of our bachelor’s programs, our faculty will be able to offer students in other UAF colleges and schools a minor in fisheries, increasing and broadening the options for students preparing themselves for participation in Alaska’s fishing industry through majors outside of fisheries. The fisheries minor (minimum 15 credits) would be available to students majoring in other areas.
Courses available for the minor would include most of our undergraduate courses including courses such as:
- Fisheries science
- Fisheries management
- Seafood marketing
- Fisheries economics
- Marine and freshwater fishes of Alaska
- Introduction to seafood science and nutrition
- Introduction to aquaculture
- Renewable resource management
