Friday Harbor Labs courses for Spring, Summer, Autumn 2015

Click the above link for information about studying up at Friday Harbor Labs on San Juan Island. For those not familiar with FHL: the College of the Environment maintains a full facility about a 15 minute walk from the ferry terminal at Friday Harbor. There is not only an opportunity to participate in world-class research, but also a change to take a full quarter of marine-science related courses.

It’s common for Envir. Studies majors to look closer at Autumn quarter. There are a lot of course options which count for our major requirements, and you can even participate in an Environmental Writing class up there (ENGL 365).

Questions about how this works for you major? ask joe or julie!
