http://outdoornebraska.gov/lawenforcementcareers/ and https://www.gamewarden.org/state/nebraska have requirements to be come a Conservation Officer = Game Warden in Nebraska.

Many online sources suggest criminal justice or wildlife management as the top majors for this field. I would search actual job listing to see what their requirements are.

You could also investigate becoming a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Office Special Agent in Nebraska which is a Federal job that provides a formal training program after college.

Jamie’s Answer

A degree in Conservation Law Enforcement would be an option to look into. This is a very specific degree and you might have to do some searching to find universities to offer this major. A degree in criminal justice or wildlife management can be helpful as well. Job descriptions for open positions will sometimes list what degrees are needed for the position which might be helpful in seeing what degree would make you competitive.
