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
fleet of field boats 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, as well as study trips to interantional
locations, 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
