Have you ever wondered what lies above the Arctic Circle? Many of us conjure up an image of a place that is dark, cold, and lifeless. Indeed, during the winter months, this may be accurate. However, in summer this region is alive with a diversity of fungi, lichens, liverworts, ferns, flowering plants, insects, fish, and other vertebrates.
Preliminary details as of August 2007 (note, these may change as we get closer to enrollment date):
- Participants will register for and receive 2 cr for the lecture preparation segment (Spring 2008) and 6 cr for the field segment (Summer Session II, 2008).
- Application deadline is November 8. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required within one week of accepting your nomination to the program.
- Enrollment will be limited to 10 students, so sign up early. Participants must have at least one 200-level biology course, a GPA > 3.0, and permission of the instructor.
