BIO117 Field Studies in Natural Systems
This intensive field based study of natural systems will investigate the biological and physical aspects of a location in Central/South America or other international/continental location following an initial academic investigation. The course will provide lab and lecture study in a remote field setting and may include, but not necessarily be limited to ecological study, physical survey and biome investigation using the area as a world model. It is likely to entail a cultural component directly related to the locale visited. Study will be directed toward a global and scientific awareness fostered through distant travel as the student is immersed in many facets of inquiry. Permission of the instructor is required.
