Training in this program prepares graduates for employment at any of thousands of hunting and fishing lodges, ranches, corporate retreat facilities, and other consumptive and non-consumptive use facilities worldwide.

Economic expenditures for hunting, fishing, and nature-based tourism are at an all-time high, and service sector businesses that specialize in providing hunting, fishing, and nature-based adventures have substantially increased over the last decade. These popular destinations for outdoor enthusiasts are unique enterprises because their successful operation requires a balance among work activities associated with wildlife management and conservation, hospitality, and business. The most successful enterprises ensure that the consumptive and non-consumptive uses of wildlife and fishery resources meet the ethical standards of society while ensuring that the customer has the experience of a lifetime.
