For 40 years, Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML) has specialized in undergraduate education. Over the last two years, we have expanded SML's curriculum to better serve students from all over the country. This summer, we will offer more than two dozen college-credit courses at our facility on Appledore Island, Maine. We feature small class sizes and an experiential learning environment where everyone learns by first-hand observation. The close-knit community we create each summer on Appledore Island gives SML the feeling of a residential college, where even a casual conversation with a faculty member or teaching assistant can turn into a life-changing moment. Being on an offshore island also means that every class includes adventure and learning opportunities far beyond any normal classroom.
We still have openings in our newest course, Sustainability in the 21st Century (http://www.sml.cornell.edu/college/pc-ccsustain.htm). This 4-credit course teaches sustainable practices first hand. Our facilities on Appledore Island make it the ideal place to study environmental engineering, small wind and solar power systems, fisheries conservation, and the local food movement. Join us for this exciting effort to make the planet a better place! To view SML's complete list of college credit courses for Summer 2007, please go to: http://www.sml.cornell.edu/college/pc-cs.htm.
