UNDERC Field Biology Programs

Three-credit programs for undergraduates that emphasize field biology are offered at the University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The programs entail course work, group research projects, or an independent research project. Application to the programs occurs in the fall of the sophomore and junior years and enrollment is limited by housing at each location. If selected, students enroll in Introduction to UNDERC (BIOS 35501) during the spring semester and Practicum in Environmental Field Biology (BIOS 35502) during the summer. To participate in other programs (Research Projects in Field Environmental Biology (BIOS 35504), Practicum in Field Environmental Biology-Galapagos Islands (BIOS 35506)), one must first complete Practicum in Environmental Field Biology (BIOS 35502) or have similar research experience.
