Internships and Research Opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
Because of the large amount of aquatic research and management being conducted in the La Crosse area, Aquatic Science students have the opportunity to gain valuable "hands-on experience" through employment and/or internships on research projects with UWL faculty, governmental agencies (discussed above), and private companies. Students can earn university credit for internships and for conducting their own research projects. These experiences greatly enhance employment and acceptance to graduate schools.
