Island Ecology Program
St. Catherine's Island, Georgia
Environmental Studies 240
Following a readings seminar (Environmental Studies 140) in the spring semester, students spend five weeks in the field studying geology, hydrology, marine and invertebrate biology, botany, and wildlife ecology on and around St. Catherine’s Island, Georgia. In each case, the educational goal is an understanding of the interrelationship of these disciplines in a single fragile ecosystem. (Credit, two courses.)
Costs are similar to other summer school programs and financial aid is available to aided students. Prerequisite readings and demand for a limited number of places have prevented opening this program to students not affiliated with the University. For further information, contact Dr. Timothy Keith-Lucas, Island Ecology Program, The University of the South, 735 University Avenue, Sewanee, Tennessee 37383-1000.
