BACKGROUND NOTE In 1938, the first Conservation of Natural Resources course was taught in the South Dakota State University Entomology and Zoology Department. In 1939, the college catalog listed conservation and management of wildlife as a course of study. Classes in the area continued to develop through the years. By 1950, two curricula were available to students, one leading to a BS in agriculture, the other to a BS in wildlife techniques and conservation. In 1957, graduate courses were added, eventually leading to an MS in the two areas. In 1963, these developments led South Dakota State University to establish a separate Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Department. The department has continued to grow through the years. A wildlife extension agent has been in the department since 1970, and faculty numbers have grown significantly. While the wildlife techniques major were dropped, other areas of study are now available. Today, the Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Department offers the Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. This degree is intended to educate students in preparation for positions with state and federal agencies and private companies.
