The Kentucky State University Aquaculture Program Water Quality Management is a 3-credit-hour Internet course offered to undergraduate and graduate students in the spring 2011 semester.
Dr. Robert Durborow, robert.durborow@kysu.edu, professor in the Division of Aquaculture at KSU, will teach the course.
The graduate-level Water Quality Management course is intended for students who are completing or already have a bachelor’s (or higher) degree. During the course, students take four online tests and write a scientific review paper on a topic agreed upon by the student and instructor. |
Why take the Water Quality Management Internet course?
An online course is perfect for persons who have limited time, and may not be able to attend class at a particular hour. Also, Web courses provide subject matter that may not be available at a nearby school. Specifically, people working with fish who need to manage, control and treat water quality, and anyone who just needs or wants college credit at the undergraduate or graduate level are welcomed to enroll.
