Department research, and, therefore, graduate research education, is usually directed toward 1) wildlife-fisheries-agriculture interactions, 2) wetlands, 3) biostress research or 4) survey and assessment of wildlife and fisheries resources. The majority of research activity in the Department is of an applied field nature that revolves around habitat, human users, and organisms (both game and non-game). The Department houses the S.D. Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, which is a cooperative effort among SDSU; the S.D. Department of Game, Fish and Parks; the U.S. Department of the Interior; and the Wildlife Management Institute. In general, students are not accepted into the Department’s graduate program unless an assistantship can be provided. The Department cooperates with a variety of internal and external funding entities to support research projects.
