The ITME Summer Program    (5 credits, 300 level)
 
Environmental Learning Experiences Full of Adventure!

The 4-week summer program starts in June. Participants learn by doing. Engaged in a variety of field laboratories and spending many hours in the sea, students complete a comprehensive course in marine biology. Conservation issues are discussed with resources users and managers such as fishermen, agro-processors, and policy makers. Field excursions are carried out throughout the island.

The summer program provides a thorough exposure to marine ecology and conservation issues of the Caribbean, for students unable to leave their home institutions for an entire semester. Students travel to and explore a variety of marine ecosystems around the island to complement classes and field laboratories.

We won't forget the fun. Long days of data collection and studying marine life deserve relaxing breaks.
