Caribbean Island Biological Experience

Every summer, usually in June to mid-July, Dr. Albrecht conducts a class that takes place on a small island off the east coast of Puerto Rico. This opportunity is open to everyone: undergraduate and graduate regardless of major. This class has many benefits. Here are just a few:

  • Meet other students and faculty from UNK
  • Experience and learn about tropical biology and island biogeography
  • Work on or help others with research projects
  • See undisturbed beaches, corals, and mangroves
  • Many swimming and snorkeling opportunities
  • Experience the rare and beautiful bioluminescent bay experience
  • Work on a long-term monitoring program with US Fish and Wildlife

The groups vary in size from 5 to 20. Dr. Albrecht works to keep the costs as low as possible and wants people to feel a sense of accomplishment and enjoy the beauty of this place.
