General requirements at
UW-Stevens Point provide a broad education in humanities, social science,
English, and communication. All majors in the College of Natural Resources
study biological and physical sciences, and take introductory courses in
wildlife management, water resources, soil science and forestry. These
courses are completed in the freshman and sophomore years. Following the
sophomore year, you attend summer camp at the Treehaven Field Station. Here you learn field techniques in wildlife,
water, soil and forestry as well as field identification of some of
Wisconsin's plants
and animals. As an alternative some students attend the Environmental
Field Seminar in Germany's Black Forest. With the fundamentals completed,
you are ready to begin your professional studies.
As you approach your
junior and senior years, your classes will become more focused on
environmental education and interpretation. To see a list of classes
