Center for Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences

We foster a collaborative environment where faculty, staff, and students work together to achieve research goals while allowing students to develop their own personal research interests and experiences. Current research addresses questions related to sport fish ecology and management, stream ecology, and invasive species management. Students have the opportunity to present research at local, regional, and national conferences, collaborate with state fisheries biologists, and gain experience with a wide range of sampling techniques, statistical analyses, and species.Graduate assistantships include a full tuition waiver and a monthly stipend. Join us in protecting our natural aquatic resources and ecosystems.
