Choose from any of the concepts or programs below or work with us to build your own! Most programs can be adapted to meet your group’s needs. Contact us for more details.
Philosophy and the Nature of Inquiry
We have the technology and know-how to supplement any of our programs with components such as data collection and management techniques, statistical analysis, GPS (geographic positioning system) technology, and GIS (geographic information system) mapping and analysis. For example, during the small mammal program students can use GPS technology to record live-trap locations then display and analyze the data using GIS software and computing resources available at the AIC.
We charge a fee of $75 per hour of your program, which is flexible to accommodate your group’s needs.
Please contact Rebecca Oyer (royer@esf.edu) to explore educational program opportunities and discuss the details of your visit.
