University Classes

We encourage university faculty to use our sites for their academic teaching, student assignments, student field research, or service learning projects. Our staff can be scheduled to lead a specialized tour or assist students seeking specific information. We have experience working with many U-M departments and programs on research, course projects, and visits. Over the years we’ve worked with Architecture; Art & Design; Asian Studies; Atmospheric Oceanic & Spaces Sciences; Dance; Ecology & Evolutionary Biology; School of Education; College of Engineering; English; Landscape Architecture; Museum Studies; School of Natural Resources and Environment; Organizational Studies; Program in Biology; Program in the Environment; Residential College; and the School of Information.
