BIOL 2470 - Field Methods in the Biological Sciences

Credits: 4
Students develop an understanding of ecological principles on a broad scale through field exercises, group discussions, research projects, and written assignments. Employing the scientific method in collaboration with students and instructors from another region or country, students examine local ecology as they engage in authentic research projects, on-the-ground conservation, and cultural interactions. Developing biological fundamentals, students delve into the evolution, behavior, population, community and ecosystem ecology, biogeography, physiology, and organismal biology in this region. Besides tuition and mandatory fees, students pay additional cost s that may include but are not limited to airfare, room and board, classes, local tours, and other activities.
