Beschreibung des Programms

Coursework in Wildlife/Fisheries Biology is available through the Frostburg State University Masters in Biology Program. With this program, study areas include aquaculture, aquatic ecology, terrestrial ecology, conservation biology, management techniques, population biology, evolutionary ecology, aquatic toxicology, habitat analysis or systematics, and systems modeling. Students will participate in fieldwork, analyze, and model vertebrate population phenomena and interactions among populations, and complete extensive research to be presented at a public seminar. Students will also explore methods and experiences of instruction in the introductory biology laboratory, including stimulating interest, presenting pre-lab instruction, conducting laboratory exercises, generating discussion, writing quizzes and laboratory practical examinations, and assessing student performance.

Informationen über das Institut

Dr. Reginald V. Truitt, zoologist, and founder of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, penned this quote in 1932 to justify the need for fisheries research in the Chesapeake Bay. A pioneer of environmental science in Maryland, Dr. Truitt was among the first to realize the Bay’s growing decline—and it's potential for renewal with the assistance of humankind. His dedicated work and inspiring foresight gave rise to one of the world’s leading institutions for coastal studies.

The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) traces its origins to the establishment of the Chesapeake Laboratory in 1925, the oldest state-supported marine laboratory in continuous operation on the East Coast.

Originally established to conduct scientific studies on Maryland’s natural resources, UMCES has become a scientific authority on the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed and a leading institution for the advancement of scientific knowledge of the environment around the world.
