Start your college career doing marine biology on beautiful Appledore Island among the Isles of Shoals.
The Marine Immersion Program is an academically intense 2-credit class for incoming UNH freshmen, surveying a range of marine-related fields (especially biology and ecology), research approaches, and organisms. This course is based at the Shoals Marine Laboratory on Appledore Island, where students and core faculty will be in residence throughout the class. Marine Immersion introduces students to the breadth, excitement and challenges of marine science through lectures, demonstrations, and field experience offered by a cohort of UNH faculty, as well as field research projects carried out on the island.
Marine Immersion is an eight-day college course exclusively for incoming UNH freshmen (in any major). Other Shoals programs are open to students from any institution, including high school students; please see the main Shoals web page for information.
