Western Maryland itself is full of unique environments for hands-on, out-of-the-classroom learning.
Hang out and explore biology with your peers in student-run clubs, like Beta Beta Beta Biological Honors society, The Wildlife Society, Quality Deer Management or the Sierra Student Coalition.

Use your college years to build a professional network. Frostburg students get opportunities to travel to a variety of conferences, and FSU frequently hosts major organizations right on campus! Recent events include the 2012 Society for Economic Botany Annual Meeting and the 2010 Wildlife Society Southeastern Conclave.
