淡水科学

The Earth is called the "blue planet" because of the abundance of water covering its surface. 然而, less than one percent of that is available freshwater, 是我们赖以生存的宝贵资源. Freshwater scientists study the health of freshwater systems—lakes, 河流, 流, 池塘, wetl和s—gathering critical information such as the impact of invasive species, 不断变化的生物多样性水平, 和 the effects of climate change 和 pollution. Their work is at the forefront of finding innovative solutions to the complex challenges facing our freshwater resources.

在我们独特的合作伙伴计划中, you’ll earn your bachelor’s degree at Carroll 和 go on to complete your master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in as little as five years.

关于淡水科学项目

The health 和 availability of freshwater resources in relation to human 和 natural impact is a global issue that affects everyone. How can we ensure there is enough clean 和 available drinking water to sustain a growing world population? What are the ways in which we can maximize our use of freshwater resources without causing damage to habitat? Can we find ways to restore 和 protect biodiversity? Our 3 + 2 freshwater sciences program prepares you for a career focused on improving the environment 和 providing a better quality of life for us all.

Innovative Partnership with University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

Our innovative 3 + 2 partnership with UWM gives you a strong foundation 和 allows you to finish your advanced degree faster.

博天堂官方入口登陆登录 partners with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of 淡水科学 to offer an innovative, integrated 3+2 bachelor's 和 master's degree program that leads to your advanced degree in as little as five years. You’ll spend three years at Carroll, completing your Bachelor of Science degree in either 环境科学 or 生物学. You’ll transfer to UWM your final two years, earning your Master of Science in Freshwater Science.

You’ll benefit from an education that offers you the best of both worlds – a premier, private school focusing on small class sizes 和 personal attention 和 a large, nationally-recognized research institution. You’ll study in a variety of natural habitats—from Carroll’s 格林野外站 和 Prairie Springs Environmental Education Center, offering 75 acres of rare wetl和s in the glaciated l和scape of the southern Kettle Moraine—to Milwaukee’s Lake Michigan, the sixth largest freshwater lake in the world.
