Summer 2010
Program in Marine and Environmental Studies
Experience the Oregon Coast!
Courses start June 21
Course Information - Summer
All courses are hands-on and taught in an intensive four-week format (3-4 quarter credits each) or as a hybrid online format (online and weekend labs at HMSC). This provides flexibility for students with limited time schedules (e.g., teachers and other professionals). Taking courses in sequence allows students to earn up to 15 quarter credits during the summer, and internships allow for up to 16 quarter credits. Because of the compressed format, students may be assigned reading in advance to prepare them for each course. Please see the OSU schedule of classes for complete schedule and prerequisites. Courses offered as 808 can be taken as either a non-credit workshop or professional development course at a discounted rate. See website or contact us for details.

Quotes:
Katie Shultz (Evergreen College): "The HMSC experience goes beyond all that OSU offers. Exposure to all the agency research scientists makes it a more meaningful experience."
Andrew Smith (University of Wisconsin-Stout): "The community of researchers is really open and welcoming to undergraduate students. People are very accessible. Having such multidisciplinary science in a single place is exciting."
Clara Lampi (Kalamazoo College): “I was really impressed with how much effort they (the faculty) put into making us feel welcome and appreciated, and that they respected where we are in the learning experience."
