Course Description

This course is the last class in the aquarium science and management series and focuses on preparing aquarium managers to take on leadership roles in off-campus businesses and organizations involved in aquarium science. Students will broaden their understanding of increasingly-complex aquarium science husbandry techniques and will be responsible for helping the course instructor to plan and implement longer-term facility and educational goals. Constructively mentoring junior aquarium managers and the development of leadership and communication skills will be a central focus of this course.
