A two-week field course offered in Summer. The course will include activities in and around the ocean and its shorelines with lectures and seminars combined with intensive field work on different marine habitats – from rocky reefs to kelp forests – and organisms. Students will conduct independent research projects. Comfortable with swimming is expected of students.

Students interested in taking an EEB field course apply directly to the department. Spaces for the course are limited, and student selection is based on a number of criteria that include:

1. background in EEB concepts and approaches (assessed through courses taken and grades);
2. benefit of course to student progress in their program of study and for professional development (assessed through courses taken and the student statement in the application)
3. interest and motivation for taking the course (assessed through the student statement in the application)
4. Year of study, with more senior students given preference.
