Summer Session 2009
Both undergraduate and graduate courses are offered yearly at KBS. Class sizes are small (10-30 students) so there is more direct interaction between students and faculty.
KBS Summer Course FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
Why should I take summer courses at KBS--what's the advantage?
KBS summer courses provide students with a unique opportunity to get hands-on field experience and learn applied and theoretical concepts in ecology and evolutionary biology.
In addition to studying nature up-close-and-personal, students can participate in recreational opportunities such as volleyball, soccer, fishing, swimming, and bonfires. Students in residence at KBS become part of a community where they can explore career options), talk with graduate students, form friendships, and grow in a supportive environment.
I am a student at another institution (besides Michigan State University) ... may I take classes at KBS?
Yes! And, if you are a graduate student at a Big Ten University or the University of Chicago, you may be eligible for the CIC Traveling Scholars Program.
