Information for Students and Prospective Students
The Center
for Limnology includes approximately 15 individuals, including graduate
students, doctoral level research scientists, and a technical staff. Graduate
students work on a wide variety of problems. The easiest way to illustrate
research conducted at the Center is to review our publication
list.
In looking over this list, you can judge the range of topics that our research
scientists and various students have worked on over the past few years. In
general, we allow wide latitude for choice of research topics.
Students who are contemplating application to study in limnology at the masters or doctoral level should apply for admission to the EBIO graduate program. The appropriate contact there is Jill Skarstad, the graduate coordinator, at 303-492-7654. The graduate coordinator can provide information on application procedures and deadlines. The limnology program welcomes your application and looks forward to reviewing it.
It is difficult to judge the probability for admission of any given candidate.
In general, successful applicants have a good undergraduate GPA, good letters
of reference, and high GRE scores. The graduate coordinator will notify Dr.
William Lewis in late fall that certain students have expressed an interest
in working with the Center for Limnology. If you apply, you would be among these.
Dr. Lewis will compare all the folders, and try to tell which candidates are
most likely for admission. Admission is done partly on the basis of Dr. Lewis'
request, and partly on the basis of decisions made by the Admissions committee
of the department. Often we invite likely candidates out for a day or two of
interviewing so that we can speak with them and they can get a better feeling
of the setting here.
The staff at the Limnology Center would be glad to answer any further questions. If you encounter any problems, please contact Dr. William Lewis, Director of the Limnology Center.
