Overview

The environmental biology and conservation major prepares students for career opportunities in the environmental field, including conservation biology, natural resource management, environmental education, environmental toxicology, aquatic biology, water quality management, fisheries biology, wildlife ecology, and zoology. Location is everything, and at Saint Mary’s, a diverse ecosystem is right in the backyard. The Winona Campus is nestled in the bluffs of the Mississippi River watershed in the Driftless Region with a hiking/skiing trail system and trout stream running through campus. Numerous opportunities for outdoor recreation, ranging from state parks to the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge, are a short drive from campus. Here, learning about biodiversity is just as exciting as discovering it. The natural resources management minor can enhance students' educational experience and broaden their career prospects. When students pursue the natural resources management minor, they’ll have the opportunity to intern with GeoSpatial Services (GSS), developing a dynamic spatial analysis skill set desired by employers and giving students the competitive edge as they enter the workforce. This STEM program, recognized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, focuses on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). International students may be eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT)

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
