UW Marine Bio and FHL are now accepting priority applications for advanced juniors and seniors majoring in Marine Biology for courses which meet the ‘integrative field experience’ requirement. This is restricted only to marine bio majors who have met prerequisites and will happen before the standard FHL application process. If accepted, you will be able to confirm your placement in a specific FHL course ahead of the standard application (allowing you to work your plans around this time at FHL).

This course will help students learn to talk about their strengths, connect academic goals with potential career pathways and cultivate a network. Students will identify their professional and academic skills and interests through assigned readings, reflections, and in-class activities. The course includes lectures, seminar-style discussion, guest speakers, small group work, and individual coaching and feedback.

This course is centered on shared discussions and working groups exploring different hard science fiction notions of future oceans. In addition, we may imagine how the Norse and Greek gods (Kraken, Aegir, Neptune, etc) might be resurrected and create different imaginary worlds in the Earth’s oceans.

Near and far: exploring the world’s oceans
As part of the course MARBIO 301: Topics in Marine Biology, journey with a diverse cast of marine science professionals during the ‘Current Topics in Marine Biology’ Winter 2023 Seminars.
Sharing behind-the-scenes stories from their careers, explore the world’s oceans and hear insights on how to solve today’s most challenging conservation and environmental issues from experts. 

Canadian Studies has two exciting course options for Winter 2023. Check them out and register before they fill up!

With registration upon us, your adviser has recommendations for your winter quarter schedule.

Now in its 19th year, this research apprenticeship, uses university research vessels to examine the patterns, interactions, and linkages between components of this the open water marine ecosystem in the San Juan Islands. The aim is to better understand how oceanographic processes shape the spatial and temporal patterns of open water biological communities, including pelagic fishes.

Do you enjoy hiking, being out in the woods, seeing rare wildlife, and spending time outside during our beautiful PNW summers? Well now is your chance to get course credit for it! Open to majors & non-majors who are interested in an engaging, hands-on, outdoor field trip-centric course where we will spend time sampling native wildlife, exploring mature forests, tromping through creeks, and learning some of the many ways we observe, analyze, manage, protect, and care for the natural world.

The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) is accepting applications for three summer courses scheduled for 2022. This popular suite of university-level summer courses, designed to immerse an international cohort of students in an intensive 3-week program of coursework and research that is unique in marine science education. Founded in 1903, BIOS is a world-class ocean science research and education facility. BIOS summer courses provide undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to expand their studies into subtropical environments and/or to investigate topics in ocean science, which are not offered within the curricula of their home institutions.

GRDSCH 200 is a course designed to help undergraduate students ask and answer the questions about graduate and professional school that will help them find the path that’s right for them, whether they decide to pursue an advanced degree at the UW or look into other options. It offers an overview of the structure and organization of graduate education, and focuses on helping students learn the skills to find resources, build a network and make decisions about continuing their studies beyond the baccalaureate.
