Re: Places for VA/DC students for a marine mammal class in Scotland

We have three places available for Virginia (or Washington DC consortium) students (undergraduate or graduate) for the summer course “Marine Mammal Biology & Conservation” [EVPP 490/505 (4 credits) or BIOL 440/507 (4 credits)] to be held in July 2010 (final dates to be determined).

The course takes place at the University Marine Biological Station Millport, Scotland and the Isle of Mull. The two week courses includes over 20 hours of lectures, a lab class and multiple field sessions. Course Fees ($3,250.00) include roundtrip airfare (from Washington DC), daily transportation, field Station fees and 4 credits of  (in state) tuition. A deposit of $500.00 is required as soon as possible to hold a seat in the class.
