question to a naturalist

Posted by Chantelle Gamache on August 2, 2006

Q: Hello,I was wondering what high school courses you need inorder to get in to a collage or university to pursue a job as a naturalist? How long do you have to go to school?

State: Alberta

A: Becoming a naturalist means you have a B.S. or M.S. degree in a field biology discipline such as ornithology, botany, etc., or a degree in Nature Interpretive Work. That means 4-6 years of school. In any case you'll need as many high school science courses and math corses as you can fit into your schedule. Good luck!
