Aquatic Option

AquaticThe Aquatic Option provides students with the basics of biological sciences in the first two years with watershed hydrology, freshwater ecology, fish biology and fisheries courses during the junior and senior years. During their tenure, our students typically get experience working on a variety of aquatic or fisheries-related research and management projects with state and federal agencies, nonprofit groups, or university researchers.
