The MBL Spring quarter offers students a variety of courses with opportunities in biology, neuroscience, physics, and art.
In September, the College offers five courses at The Marine Biological Laboratory. Each course is taught by UChicago and MBL faculty.
During Autumn Quarter, MBL and UChicago partner to offer students a 15-week experience rooted in environmental research, policy, and management through the Semester in Environmental Science (SES) program.
Courses like BIOS 23233: Ecology and Evolution in the Southwest - Field School or BIOS 23100: Dinosaur Science take students outside of Chicago.
