The Water School is home to 2 Departments, 5 Programs, and 3 Centers and Research Institutes. Each of these Centers focus on expanding Undergraduate and Graduate students' educational hands-on research each of their respective fields.
The Centers bring together faculty from all disciplines and Colleges within the University to work together on complex, topical and comprehensive issues.
Our vision is a Southwest Florida that promotes the interconnectedness of natural
and social systems required to create a healthy and resilient environment for the
benefit of all.
The Everglades Wetland Research Park (EWRP) provides teaching, research, and service
related to wetland, river, coastal science and ecological engineering.
Our unique facility in nearby Bonita Springs serves as an easy-access point to Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico and is an important base of operations for studies of Southwest Florida’s coastal and watershed habitats.
