The Biology Department has fostered an
ongoing collaboration with the Marine
Studies Consortium. The Consortium is an
association of colleges, universities,
museums, and marine research institutions in
Massachusetts; its mission is to educate
students in the disciplines of marine
science and policy. A series of courses are
offered on an annual or rotating schedule.
Classes and laboratories usually are held in
the evenings at facilities of member
institutions (typically, Brandeis University
and The New England Aquarium, Boston).
Saturday field trips to local coastal sites
are common. For more information about the
program and the courses offered visit the
Consortium’s web site

The collaboration with the Marine Studies
Consortium allows students who have
interests in specific oceanographic topics
to explore them through courses not
routinely offered by the College. Courses
offered by the Consortium that are available
for credit at the College include: 23.210,
23.305, 23.316, 32.307, 84.300, 84.301, and
84.302. See the campus representative (Dr.
Richard Beckwitt, Biology Department) to
learn more about the program and the
application procedure. Application to the
campus representative must be made one
semester prior to participation in the
course. Additional course fees apply as
posted in the most recent master schedule of
day division courses. |
