I'm returning to school soon and have been attempting to decide on a major for a long time now. I'm transferring in at a junior level, so I have to declare when I apply. I would like to have a career in which I get to do field research on animal behavior. There aren't many schools that offer an undergraduate degree in ethology, so I'm planning on specializing later on in my post-graduate studies. What I need to decide now is which undergraduate degree would be best for me to get me on track. Most universities offer an ecology and evolution degree or a marine biology degree, but a few of them offer wildlife, fish and conservation biology. Does anyone know which one would make more sense for my career goals? There are so many options that I'm just getting confused.
 
I have a BA in Ecology and I am now working on my MS in Wildlife Biology. I think that either one will be fine for what you are interested in pursuing. If you can major in one and minor in the other then I would go for it. Or if you can double major that would be good as well.
