as an environmental history/Native American ecology module. Each student

conducts an independent research project in collaboration with a faculty

advisor that is more advanced given the skills learned at UNDERC-East.

(Pre-requisite - UNDERC-East).

 

 

 

These programs promote understanding of field environmental biology and how

field research is conducted through 9 – 10 weeks in the field.

Applications are accepted from students who will be completing at least

their sophomore year at a 4-year college or university. Acceptance is based

on past academic performance and a statement of purpose. Preference is
