LUMCON field courses, summer 2014

The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) will be offering the following field courses for the Summer of 2014:

Coastal Landscape Photography (any level)

Introduction to Marine Science (sophomores)
Coral Reef Ecology (juniors, seniors and grad students)
Marine Field Ecology (juniors, seniors and grad students)
Coastal Field Geology (juniors seniors and grad students) 

Our application deadline is April 1st.  I have heard from a few universities that this is a much earlier date than summer registration on campus.  Students can apply with us for our classes before registering for a course on campus.  The deadline is early for LUMCON courses due to the logistics involved with preparing for each field class.  If a course has at least 6 students signed-up by April 1st, we keep registration open for that class until it fills up.  If we do not have at least 6 students for a class by April 1st, the class is cancelled for the summer.  More information and applications can be found at http://www.lumcon.edu/education/university/summer.  I have attached a poster for the summer program.

We are also accepting applications for our 2014 NSF-funded REU program.  The application deadline is March 15th.
