Engage in opportunities for scientific research—in the lab and out in the field—under the mentorship of faculty. Roll up your sleeves (literally) and learn how to do soil sampling, environmental sample analysis, plant and insect sampling, mammal trapping and several aquatic ecology techniques.
You’ll do much of your fieldwork at local nonprofit nature preserves and wildlife refuges, including Tifft Nature Preserve, the Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve and Chautauqua Lake.
