Extra Information:
The Hood Coastal Studies Semester is a travel-based, experiential learning program that provides a solid academic framework for the study of environmental science. This is a "study away" semester that will enroll students from a wide variety of institutions. The Coastal Studies Semester is open to students of at least sophomore status (regardless of major) who have completed a freshman writing class and at least one laboratory science course. Beginning in January 2002 students and faculty will travel from South Florida to the Chesapeake Bay as a close-knit, motivated learning community seeking common intellectual experiences. Throughout the semester participants will live, work, and study at marine field stations and environmental centers while taking a total of 16 credit-hours of coursework in English, Biology, Environmental Science and Policy, and Interdisciplinary Studies.
