Inquiry-Based Earth-System Science will provide a unique opportunity for in-service teachers to obtain graduate credit while updating their expertise in Earth Science.  Please follow the procedure below to enroll in the course.  We look forward to seeing you on August 29th!

I. Applying to Kent State University
In-service teachers who wish to take a limited number of credit hours (6 or fewer), may apply to Kent State University as a Guest Graduate Student.  Click here to begin the application process (choose "Apply Online - Guest and Re-App" from the quick links at the bottom, choose the College of Arts and Sciences).  Guest Graduate Student applications are processed quickly the KSU's Department of Research and Graduate Studies (RAGS).
