How We Rate

“CR was the perfect place to begin an education in biology. The faculty are motivated and inspiring and connected to an amazing scientific community in Humboldt county and beyond. Learning extends beyond the classroom into the field. I found that my education was much more meaningful  when I could see scientific processes happening all around me!”

—Nalani Ludington

“The science program at CR was a turning point in my academic and professional career. The strong scientific foundations I built in chemistry, zoology, botany, and math gave me a noticeable advantage in my classes at HSU where I graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in biology. Furthermore, the  skill and dedication of the professors at CR has inspired me to pursue a career in science education.”

— Lena Pine-Campbell
Humboldt State University, B.S. Biology, 2014

“I developed a strong fundamental understanding of science at CR taking chemistry, botany, zoology, and more before transferring to HSU and graduating with honors with degrees in both botany and ecology. The knowledgeable, passionate CR science faculty provided a critical stepping stone to my ongoing academic pursuits.”

—Bobby Shearer
Humboldt State University, B.S. Botany, B.S. Ecology, 2015

"Students sometimes tell me that I teach them how to see, and once they start seeing they ask questions, and I help them develop the language, concepts, and skills to focus their questions and get meaningful answers."
