The ITME Semester Program   (16 credits, 300 level)
 
 Academics Applied to Research, Conservation & Outreach!

The semester program is a 12-week program starting in September. Participants take 4 intensive courses and engage in a variety of research activities. Field trips and research are carried out throughout the island's diverse marine habitats. Findings are compiled in the form of reports, disseminated via various media, and incorporated into the Institute's wide array of community outreach projects.

Courses of the Semester Program

• ITME AC302 Principles of Tropical Marine Ecology (4 credit h)
• ITME AC301 Nat. Hist. & Identification of Marine Organisms (4 credit h)
• ITME AC303 Marine Resource Conservation (4 credit h)

* We spend 50% of the instruction time outdoors / in the sea. *

       

The semester program is a demanding multidisciplinary hands-on experience, during which students develop research skills and make their scientific contribution to the understanding of marine ecosystems in Dominica and beyond. For many, this program has been a stepping stone towards graduate school and a career in environmental sciences.
 
If you are considering a career in an environmental discipline, marine biology, conservation, research, and/or being better equipped for graduate school in similar fields,
this is the program for you!
