Demystify Coursework Requirements Some U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service careers require minimum education requirements and some of those require a specific number of semester or quarter hours in a particular discipline to qualify. Figuring out which courses satisfy which discipline can be confusing. We’re here to help!
Fish biology work at Gavins Point National Fish Hatchery in South Dakota. Quick tip: Sometimes a course name does not provide enough information to tell Human Resources if a course satisfies a semester hours requirement for a particular discipline. In cases like this, you can include a letter in your application from your professor or college dean explaining that the course contained particular content.
For example, the Fish Biology Series (0482) requires a degree with a major in biological science that includes: At least 6 semester hours in aquatic subjects such as limnology, ichthyology, fishery biology, aquatic botany, aquatic fauna, oceanography, fish culture, or related courses in the field of fishery biology At least 12 semester hours in the animal sciences in such subjects as general zoology, vertebrate zoology, comparative anatomy, physiology, entomology, parasitology, ecology, cellular biology, genetics, or research in these fields.
(Excess coursework in aquatic subjects may be used to meet this requirement when appropriate.) A wildlife biologist releases a baby turtle into the wild. Suppose you mention in your application that you took a class in wetlands ecology.
A Human Resources specialist who evaluates your application might categorize that class as coursework in aquatic subjects. But that's not guaranteed, because wetlands ecology is not specifically listed above. (This listing matches the listing that would be in the USAJobs.
gov vacancy announcement.) So, you might want to include a letter indicating this wetlands ecology course would be classified as an aquatic subject for the purposes of this job series. Learn about the onboarding process once you've been selected for a job with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
