Environmental Science

At the University of Dubuque, students learn Environmental Science by getting wet, getting muddy, and getting their hands on fish, birds, soil, prairie plants, and rocks. We believe that field
oriented, hands
on courses prepare students for jobs following graduation, while providing real
life experiences that lead to internships and undergraduate research projects. Students are exposed to the latest technologies , such as water quality analysis, toxicological assays, and radio telemetry.

Our houseboat field station provides an excellent opportunity to explore the Mississippi River ecosystem, and yearly field trips to the Audubon Center of the North Woods, Boundary Waters, and other fun spots provide an opportunity to learn about other habitats. Through integrated classroom work and hands
on research, students are prepared to be leaders in the environmental science field after graduation.

We also  love field trips.  See some of our photos at http://www.geocities.com/daleeasley/FieldTrips/Page.html
