Shoals Research Apprenticeship

Combine Investigative Marine Biology Laboratory (BIOSM 1500 / MEFB 403) or another pre-approved, research-focused SML course in the same summer season with Research in Biology (BIOSM 4990 / MEFB 751) for a 4-week Shoals Research Apprenticeship. Learn the ins-and-outs of experimental design and execute your own individual research project for credit.
