In a typical year, Museum faculty and staff teach over 500 students across multiple courses (see below) in the departments of Anthropology, Biology, Entomology & Nematology, Geography, Geological Sciences, Wildlife Ecology & Conservation, Honors, and others. They also supervise independent studies and research projects, contributing to more than 400 credit hours, chair on the graduate committees of dozens of students, and serve on many others.
