Off-campus studies

Off-campus study opportunities are available to students. Students who wish to obtain further expertise in environmental science and ecology may attend the AuSable Institute for Environmental Studies in Michigan. Sponsored by the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, the AuSable Institute offers in-depth classes during January, May and summer.

Internships are encouraged and can provide students with practical experience in their chosen field. Area research facilities are very amenable to these internships.

Facilities

Huntington University opened a newly-constructed, 90,000 square-foot Science Hall for the Division of Natural and Mathematical Sciences in 2002. The new learning center features a quality learning environment with student-friendly spaces, teaching and research specialty equipment, well-designed laboratories and research spaces, and multimedia classrooms in rich, art-infused aesthetic surroundings.

The Huntington University Herbarium was founded in 1903, by Dr. Fred Loew. Currently, the Herbarium contains approximately 10,000 specimens.
