| Conclusion and Recommendations The majority of respondents preferred ecotourism management to wildlife management. This could be due to the perception of students on the related nature of ecotourism to tourism and thus could provide them job opportunity in the tourism sector. Opportunities for study exchange programme with institutions offering similar programmes overseas that could enable the students have contact with foreigners and foreign cultures as well as making overseas trips should be provided in the development of course curriculum for the department. In addition, field practical exposure in all areas of the programme that could bolster students' job opportunities after graduation and make them excellent scholars in the field should be accorded priority in the delivery of the curriculum. These are necessary in view of the peculiarities of their admission into the department. References Aderemi, HO, Hassan, OM, Sinyanbola, W.O. and Taiwo, K. (2013).
