The Center for Watershed Science and Education provides meaningful, practical and positive educational and professional experiences for UW-Stevens Point students pursuing careers in natural resources. Opportunities exist for graduate and undergraduate students to work side-by-side with faculty and staff conducting scientific research and performing laboratory analysis.

Undergraduate students earn internship​ credit in Water 381 and gain valuable experience by assisting in research projects and/or working in the Water and Environmental Analysis Lab. Graduate students are able to earn a master's degree in Natural Resources by completing an approved course of study and completing a graduate thesis that researches a water resource issue.

Students also can enroll in an advanced water chemistry class offered by WEAL staff (Water 492 - Advanced Techniques of Environmental Analysis).  This 3-credit course offers opportunities to conduct water quality research projects.

For more information on student opportunities within the Center please visit or contact us.

To view completed graduate theses, please visit the Reports page and select "Graduate Theses" from the Subject drop-down list. (Note: Electronic versions are generally not available prior to 2007. If you are looking for a graduate thesis that was completed prior to 2007, hardcopies are available for viewing at the UWSP Learning Resource Center or send us a request and we will do our best to make available electronically.)
