The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Field Station conducts a series of Natural History Workshops.  These workshops offer an opportunity to study focused topics at college-level instruction under the guidance of noted authorities.  We offer two-day and week-long workshops, and housing and meals are available at the Station.  Enrollment is limited to 20, the atmosphere is informal and instruction is individualized.  Workshops may be taken for graduate or undergraduate credit by enrolling in UWM, Topics in Field Biology.  Fees vary.  Please contact the Field Station for more information and a registration form, or visit our website at http://www4.uwm.edu/fieldstation/workshops/ for full descriptions of each course, fee information, and a downloadable Registration Form.  The 2012 summer workshop schedule includes eight courses:
