Aquaculture Science introduces students to practical applications of both physical and biological concepts and skills through experiential learning opportunities. While aquaculture is the cornerstone of this course, the program places heavy emphasis on integration of knowledge to solve problems and broaden depth of understanding about water chemistry and management, aquaculture systems, aquatic biology, and health and sanitation.
