Forestry students have been retreating to the woods for over 80 summers, gaining first-hand knowledge and practical field experience no classroom lecture can match. And while many schools are scaling back their summer camp programs, Purdue has expanded the program to include students majoring in aquatic sciences and wildlife. Summer Practicum, Marine Biology Practicum, Desert Practicum.

Participating in a student organization will provide you with opportunities to receive valuable insight on job prospects, industry news, internships and unique experiences.
