Marine Biology Courses: Why should I Go To Hopkins? In some respects, the curriculum at Hopkins is analogous to attending one of Stanford's overseas campuses: students take up residence in Pacific Grove and spend an entire quarter studying aspects of biology that are not available on the main campus. THE 2007-08 SCHEDULE AUTUMN QUARTER |
Hopkins Marine Station offers a Marine Biology curriculum in the Winter, Spring, and Summer Quarters. These courses (open to students in all majors) expand the coverage of subjects basic to all biological and environmental sciences and provide upper-level undergraduate and graduate students with courses in a variety of topics related to life in the oceans. | BIOSCI 3 | Frontiers in Marine Biology (1 unit) Hopkins faculty (taught on main campus) |
| BIOSCI 8 | Frontiers in Organismal Biology (1 unit) Hopkins faculty (taught on main campus) |
| SOPHCOLL 10SC | Natural History, Marine Biology and Research (2 units) Thompson |
