 About the Department

The newly established Department of Rangeland, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management (RWFM) resulted from the reorganization of several departments within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. RWFM is unique among most academic departments in that we are focused on informing science-driven natural resource management through teaching and research that engage the end user with their needs in mind. The Department is currently comprised of 14 faculty members (including two endowed chairs) on the flagship campus in College Station and 10 additional faculty members located at Research and Extension Centers across the state. Departmental faculty also have appointments within Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Water Resources Institute, and Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute. Our faculty maintain diverse state, national, and international research collaborations. Student enrollment is approximately 530 undergraduate and 100 graduate students.
