Cooperating Universities
Jones Center graduate students can enroll in M.S. and Ph.D. programs at cooperating universities. Students conduct their research at lchauway under the guidance of our scientists who serve as co-advisors with faculty of co-sponsoring universities. We place particular emphasis on our graduate student programs as they are an important product of the Jones Center’s programs and continue to make lasting impacts in research, management, and conservation of natural resources in the southeastern U.S. and beyond.
