The Susquehanna River Valley is one of the best places to study the natural world. At the confluence of its major river, we’re surrounded by abundant waterways, forests, and farms. We have a state-of-the-art freshwater research laboratory and an 87-acre environmental field station right on campus. In our ecology program, you’ll study everything from streams, lakes, and wetlands to nutrient cycling and land ecosystems. Learn how air, water, soil, and organisms coexist and how wildlife functions within their native habitats.

This Master’s programme provides knowledge on current theories and models of aquatic ecosystems, the relation between watershed, atmosphere, lakes and streams, interactions between humankind and aquatic ecosystems, and water management. Practical training in laboratory and field methodology is also emphasised. Some of the courses contain week-long excursions where practical field studies are conducted; from hypotheses and preparations, via sampling, analysing samples and data, and finally writing a report and performing an oral presentation.
