Student Resources

Learning Beyond the Classroom

UNCW requires all undergraduates participate in learning activities outside of the classroom. Our department offers several options for completing that requirement.

CSE Academic Resource Center

We support the advising services provided in each CSE department. We assist all CSE students, especially transfer and re-enrolling students, as well as any student with questions about academic policy. We are also available to address departmental advisors' concerns.

Academic Catalogues

Our undergraduate and graduate catalogues are a valuable resource for prospective and current students, faculty, advisors and staff.

Get Involved!

The Environmental Sciences Graduate Student Association (EVS-GSA) is organized to promote knowledge, research and involvement activities among the environmental sciences graduate students. Monthly meetings are held to inform members of upcoming social, volunteer, and discipline related events. Environmental topics of interest are discussed, and a guest speaker presents at these meetings to offer professional insight.

The EVS-GSA provides financial funding for travel grants, equipment and other fees associated with accelerating professional interest and fellowship among graduate students and the community.

Founded in 1937, The Wildlife Society’s mission is “To inspire, empower, and enable wildlife professionals to sustain wildlife populations and habitats through science-based management and conservation.” The Wildlife Society enhances our members’ networking and learning opportunities, professional and career development, and provides numerous ways for them to get more involved in creating a better future for wildlife and their habitats.

The Wildlife Society’s student chapters are composed of student and professional members of the Society. Based at college campuses across North America, these chapters establish their own locally focused objectives and have their own bylaws, officers, committees and dues structure.

The purpose of our chapter is to allow UNCW students to gain field experience, network with wildlife professionals, learn about contemporary wildlife conservation research and have the opportunity to attend local, state and national workshops and conferences.

Meetings and events for this chapter will allow you to learn skills, gain knowledge and develop as a wildlife professional, thereby better preparing you for a career in the wildlife field and creating a better future for wildlife and their habitats.

For more details contact our UNCW faculty advisor Dr. Rachael Urbanek.

Founded by undergraduate students at UNC Chapel Hill in 2006, Epsilon Eta was established as a national, gender-inclusive, professional fraternity for students interested in pursuing careers in environmental science and sustainability. The mission is “to foster awareness of the intrinsic relationship between people and their environment through academics, the community, and service.”  The fraternity connects our members to a national network of environmental professionals and likeminded students, “to enhance our actions as stewards of the environment.”

As a national honors fraternity, college campuses across North America can establish chapters with their own locally-focused objectives and have their own bylaws, officers, committees, and dues structure.

UNCW’s Chapter Phi is building a professional network that actively connects regional experts, community groups and agencies, and related university clubs and organizations, to members. Epsilon Eta offers valuable resources for students pursuing environmental careers, offering semesterly service projects, volunteering opportunities, and connections with various university and community speakers. 

Meetings and events for this chapter allow UNCW students to gain knowledge, network with community leaders, and participate in local initiatives and projects regarding environmental health, all of which develop the professional skills necessary to be better prepared for careers in the discipline. For more details or contact our UNCW Faculty advisor Ms. Amy Long.

The UNCW Surfrider Club is the first collegiate-based Surfrider Club in the nation. The UNCW Surfrider Club's mission is the same as the National Surfrider Foundation: Dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s ocean, waves, and beaches, for all people, through a powerful activist network. 

The program has grown to a wide range of activities including organizing school clubs and initiatives based on project-based learning. These range from beach cleanups to eliminating single use plastics on-campus to greening campuses.  UNCW's club events include Beach cleanups, vendors markets, benefit concerts, film festivals, petition signing, on-campus meetings and tabling events, and more.

Our success to affect widespread action to protect our coasts comes in part by motivating students to take action in local coastal conservation. The Surfrider Student Club network also serves as the foundation for cultivating the next generation of leaders for our chapter network, developing lifelong coastal defenders, and helping to expand Surfrider’s mission to protect our ocean, waves and beaches beyond our chapter network.
