The Kentucky State University Aquaculture course Aquaponics is a 3-credit-hour Internet course offered to undergraduate and graduate students.
Dr. Jim Tidwell, james.tidwell@kysu.edu, Professor and Chair in the Division of Aquaculture at KSU, will teach the course along with Mrs. Janelle Hager, Research Associate in Aquaponics. The graduate-level Aquaponics 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 Aquaponics 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.
