2023 Fishing and Fisheries Sciences and Management Popularity

POPULARITY

Fishing and fisheries sciences and management is the 295th most popular degree in America, with 405 students receiving their bachelors degree last year. It just beat out #296 Pre-Veterinary Studies, and narrowly lost to #294 Network and System Administration.

The degree is offered at a total of 18 colleges across the nation, and is the 389th most widely offered degree. It is not offered at any of the Top 100 Best Colleges in America.

It is also worth noting that nearly 9/10 of colleges offering fishing and fisheries sciences and management are public making it a very accessible field.

The great lakes produces the most fishing and fisheries sciences and management graduates, largely led by Lake Superior State University, while it’s the Pacific-12 Conference that leads conference totals. As far as states, Oregon ranks highest, with particular help from Oregon State University and University of Alaska Southeast, which graduated 103 students last year alone. Although size is critical, another important factor to consider is the program’s density (the percent of all students that study fishing and fisheries sciences and management). More students studied fishing and fisheries sciences and management as a percentage of total students at Lake Superior State University than any other college.
