Laboratory, Summer 2007
For 40 years, Shoals Marine Laboratory has specialized in undergraduate education. 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 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 one. Being on an offshore island also means that every class includes
adventure and learning opportunities far beyond any normal classroom. Check out SML's
course offerings especially relevant to animal behavior and behavioral ecology - and plan
to join us on Appledore this summer!
