For an undergrad degree I would recommend Conservation, Wildlife Biology, or Ecology. Law & Policy is another possibility, but it won’t give you as many grad school options as the others. Some programs offer more specific concentrations, like Conservation Ecology, but if you plan to go to grad school, I’d just go with whatever you’re most comfortable with and do the best you can.
When it comes to choosing an undergrad university in preparation for grad school, the name of the university isn’t nearly as important as how hard you work while you’re there (GPA as well as volunteering, working related summer jobs and internships, etc). As a grad student myself, I suggest saving as much money as possible until you get into graduate study. Trust me, you’ll need it. Personally, I went to a small school south of Pittsburgh, PA and worked my butt off in a setting that was very one on one when it came to faculty, and I loved it. I’m not familiar with the universities in the region, but UC Davis, Arizona State, Humboldt State (<-personal rivals of mine), U of Arizona, SDSU and USC come to mind.
When looking at a school, look into their student clubs and organizations as well as their academics and faculty. Also, try to do some undergraduate research, if possible.
Hi! I’m a 16 year old girl, and I live in Florida. I have always loved animals and I know just about everything a 16 year old could possibly know about them. I’m really concerned about the environment, and I am seriously considering getting into environmental conservation. However, I don’t plan on staying in Florida for the rest of my life. I really just don’t like it here. I’ve been thinking that maybe after graduation I could move to Alaska and study in the field and perhaps go to the state college there.
Are there any tips you could give me?
Thanks!

Get a degree in Biology, Zoology, Ecology, Veterinary medicine, or Animal husbandry and you’ll do well in environmental conservation if you want to work with animals. Good luck!
P.S. Florida is an awesome environment for studying wildlife and non-native invasive species when it comes to conservation. Gators, crocodiles, sharks, key deer, panthers, bears, birds, snakes, and a myriad of non-native, introduced animals and plants…manatees, burmese pythons, caiman, snakeheads, iguanas, parrots, tarantulas, monitor lizards, casuarina and melaleuca trees, etc.
.
I want to volunteer overseas but do not have a bachelors degree or a lot of money. Can anyone give me some ideas on where to apply? I’m interested in teaching (English, Math, Physics, etc), environmental conservation, building homes, setting up telecommunication infrastructures or pretty much anything. I’m a 28 year old male and currently work testing computer storage options (hard drives, tape, NAS, etc). My highest level of education is an Associates in Electrical Engineering.
