This course is designed for incoming freshmen – especially, but not exclusively, for Biology, Zoology, and related majors. The class is capped at 20. It will be taught by a team of UNH professors with expertise across a wide range of marine sciences, from invasive species to marine policy.

In addition to marine sciences, you’ll get an introduction to undergraduate life and research at UNH, and practice some of the skills (from writing to time management to understanding how the university is organized) that will help you make the most of your college experience. Current UNH students and recent graduates will discuss their own research and experience, and answer your questions about what life here is really like. The “campus” for Marine Immersion is the Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML), a world-class marine laboratory operated jointly by UNH and Cornell and dedicated to undergraduate research and education. SML is located on Appledore Island,
6 miles off the coast of New Hampshire; it has modern dormitory, dining, and research facilities. Both students and faculty will be in residence on the island during the course (round-trip transportation from Portsmouth, NH is included in the course fee).
Course costs: Subject to confirmation — $1666 (NH residents), $1718 (out of state) – including tuition, fees, registration, room, board, & transportation between Portsmouth, NH and SML. Some limited need-based scholarship support from the UNH Marine Program may be available for students who have already filed a
2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). After you have registered for Marine Immersion, please email Dr. Bolker (jbolker@cisunix.unh.edu) if you would like to be considered for scholarship support for this class. |
