Environmental Science Practicum

Learn about environmental science and associated careers.

In this week-long, summer program, high school students can practice field skills and learn about current aquatic and terrestrial research from scientists and professionals, while looking ahead to discover educational pathways for environmental science career fields.

If you are interested in getting outside this summer to explore your local ecosystems and learn about careers in environmental science, this is the program for you.
