Spring 2010 Beaufort Signature Travel Courses
(January 13, – May 8, 2010)
Plan ahead for Spring Semester 2010 at the Marine Lab. This is the semester for the studious and adventurous, with immersion in marine science in Beaufort and extended travel opportunities with Duke faculty to study sea turtles in Trinidad, urban tropical ecology in Singapore, and marine mammals in Hawaii, as well as opportunities to fulfill Trinity College Curriculum requirements for all majors, pre-meds, and concentrations in marine science, and to undertake independent research.
Undergraduates may enroll in up to five and a half course credits during the spring semester. Students interested in taking more than five and a half course credits must get permission from their academic dean.
