86 Master's degrees in Biodiversity & Conservation in North America
Human Ecology
The common focus of the field is the study of fibrous materials and their use as apparel, as engineering structures (such as composite materials), in biomedical applications, and in home furnishings. At Cornell University, the Field of Fiber Science and Apparel Design is applied and multidisciplinary, with faculty members drawn from the Colleges of Human Ecology and Engineering.
Molecular Biosciences
Molecular Biosciences is a dynamic continuum of disciplines, which uses the approaches of chemistry, physics, and biology to understand the fundamental mechanisms of living organisms. The Molecular Biosciences program is offered by Washington State University.
Biodiversity, Conservation, and Policy
The multidisciplinary Biodiversity, Conservation, and Policy program of University at Albany explores the intersections of policy, politics, planning, and conservation biology. Through integrated coursework, you’ll deepen your understanding of the conservation decision-making process as both a scientist and policy analyst.
Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture
Within this Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture MSc program from Mississippi State University you will acquire skills to become a leader in the field of conservation education.
Wildlife Biology and Conservation
We offer a master degree in Wildlife Biology and Conservation at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The geographic location of the university is particularly advantageous for the study of wildlife biology. Spruce forest, aspen-birch forest, alpine tundra, bogs and several types of aquatic habitats are within easy reach.
Wildlife and Wildlands Conservation
This Wildlife and Wildlands Conservation program of Brigham Young University emphasizes the scientific method in developing critical thinking and analytical skills applied to conservation and management problems related to wildlife ecology, wildlands, restoration science and/or rangeland ecology.

Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology
The Master of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology degree at Colorado State University is one of the top programs in the U.S., and over 2,400 of our alumni are working to resolve natural-resource related issues.
Conservation and Restoration Science
The Conservation and Restoration Science program at University of California, Irvine (UCI) is a highly collaborative program, portions of which will embed students into real-world conservation and restoration settings through community partnerships.
Applied Entomology
The Master of Professional Studies in Applied Entomology from University of Maryland, a 30-credit, 10-course graduate program may be completed in as little as 15 months. Offered through the convenience and flexibility of the online learning environment, students enroll in two 3-credit courses per 12-week term.
Wildlife Conservation
The Master of Wildlife Conservation at The University of Maine is a non-thesis degree for students who wish to focus strongly on the course work portion of a degree rather than a thesis.
Interdisciplinary Bioscience and Biotechnology
Based in the Department of Biology, the Interdisciplinary Bioscience and Biotechnology master's degree program from Clarkson University is designed to be truly collaborative with other departments.
Applied Ecology and Conservation Biology
Frostburg State University's Master of Science in Applied Ecology and Conservation Biology is one of Maryland’s top biology programs and is led by professors who are published scientific authors and renowned authorities in their respective fields.
Environmental GIS and Biodiversity Conservation
This Environmental GIS and Biodiversity Conservation Postgrad Certificate at George Mason University focuses in the fields of conservation biology, land use policy, conservation planning, and modern tools and approaches used in GIS to prepare students to tackle complex environmental challenges in a changing world.
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program at the University of Toronto leads to the Master of Science.
Bioscience Management
The Master of Science in Bioscience Management from Worcester Polytechnic Institute provides students with the practical knowledge in the areas of biotechnology, chemistry and business administration to make strategic decisions within a bio-related industry.
Entomology
Graduate students in several disciplines – agronomy, animal science, biochemistry, biological sciences, genetics, veterinary diagnostic medicine and pathobiology, horticulture, and plant pathology – are conducting research on topics that may include insects and plant protection/pest management. The Entomology programme is offered by Kansas State University.
Marine Conservation and Resource Management
The Marine Conservation and Resource Management program at the University of South Alabama provides students with advanced, science-based training to protect and manage vital marine ecosystems.
Applied Bioscience
The primary objective of the Master of Science (MSc) program in Applied Bioscience from Ontario Tech University is to train students to become high-quality researchers at the interface between chemistry and biology.
Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Ecology
The Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Ecology at New Mexico State University offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science degree with a major in Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Ecology.
Conservation Biology
We offer a master degree in Conservation Biology at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry. This area entails study and maintenance of biological diversity at the level of genes, populations, communities, ecosystems and biomes; intellectual underpinnings include evolutionary theory, systematic biology, population biology and ecosystem science.
