BIO 105 is an introductory course providing laboratory experiences in marine science. This course will be instructed at a marine science laboratory such as Discovery Bay or Port Royal in Jamaica, West Indies. Students will spend 7 to 10 days at a marine laboratory engaged in an intense introduction to coral reefs, coastal environments and marine life. Course will be offered over quarter breaks. Cultural and ecological experiences of the region will be included. Students will be given both snorkeling and diving instruction and thus should be strong swimmers and comfortable in the ocean. Accommodation fees at the marine lab and travel expenses will vary.
