Environmental Science
At Wayland, there is more than one way to learn. We believe in the value of experiential learning.
Using nearby preserved lands and nature centers, Wayland is offering a new signature program focused on environmental science—where classroom studies are combined with field experiences. Students will have the unique and valuable opportunity to study the natural world, developing lifelong skills from hands-on research at preeminent sites—like the Horicon Marsh Wildlife Area and the Aldo Leopold Nature Center—close to campus.
The science behind our program was developed through research and leadership from:
- The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
- Will Steger—World-renowned polar explorer and climate change educator/advocate
- The Cornell Lab of Ornithology
- The Aldo Leopold Nature Center
