Degree for Conservation Scientist

This week I am looking at what degree I need to obtain in order to be a Conservation Scientist. I found that I need to get a Bachelor's degree in forestry, which you can earn in about four years. Four years is about standard time to earn  most Bachelor's degrees. I decided to do a search four a four year college that offered a Bachlor's degree for Conservation.
I wanted to pick out a college that not only offered this degree, but also had inexpensive tuition. I found that Brigham Young University not only offered the degree that I wanted, but it also had very inexpensive tuition.  BYU's tuition runs around $2,575 per semester if  your a member of  The Church of Jesus Christ of  Latter Day Saints. I am a member, so my tuition would be $2,575 per Semester for 12 credit hours. The program was actually pretty  competitive, which really surprised me.

 Next week I plan to search for areas that need Conservation Scientists, so that when I am done with college I will know what states to apply and where I can earn the most.
