Rasmuson Fisheries Expansion
Minor in Fisheries
The Minor in Fisheries will not be available for undergraduate students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Fisheries Science or Bachelor of Arts in Fisheries degree programs. Instead, the minor will only be available to students in non-fisheries degree programs. The minor will consist two core courses (6 credits) and two fisheries course requirements (6 credits).
Students will need to choose a minimum of one class (3 credits) from one of the following three concentration areas: fisheries science, fisheries business administration and economics, and fisheries policy and rural development. As a result, a total of 15 credits will be required for the Minor in Fisheries.
The objective of the Minor in Fisheries degree program is to provide students with the knowledge base, skill sets, and hands-on experience which will augment their educational experience at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. This minor will strengthen the abilities of UAF graduates to lead and effectively contribute to the management, research, and administration of the fishing and seafood processing industries in Alaska.
Career opportunities available for students completing the Minor in Fisheries will be the same as for students completing the Bachelor of Science in Fisheries Science and Bachelor of Arts in Fisheries.
