UMBS Course Expansion

This coming spring will mark the first of the new courses we are bringing to the Biological Station... new disciplines, new students, and new approaches to field studies.  The "no-added cost" model, in which tuition is charged during the academic year (not summer) and in which donors are stepping up to cover student room, board and station fees will, we hope, make our field station affordable to students regardless of economic constraints. 

Check out our Third Century Initiative course additions here.

Thanks to Melissa Duhaime for testing the waters with her new EEB course "Microbes in the Wild: Environmental Microbiology Lab." If you are interested in adding a few Biological Station weeks to one of your fall or winter term courses, please contact our TLTC Program Manager, Alicia Farmer (farmeral@umich.edu) for more information. We will have openings for courses running in 2018 and beyond. Alicia and our course review committee will be happy to provide feedback or advice on course proposals.
