Dear Colleagues,
For 40 years, Shoals Marine Laboratory has specialized in
undergraduate education in marine science and sustainability. 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 still have some places in all of the courses listed
below. 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. Please take a minute to review some of
our exciting offerings - and join us on Appledore this summer!
