Eligibility: |
The REU Program is open to advanced biology students with a demonstrated
interest in field ecology. Interested students must have 2 semesters of
upper-level college biology courses (e.g., ecology, evolution, animal
behavior, plant taxonomy, research methods, etc.) and 1 semester of
college-level Spanish to participate in the program. As part of the
application process, students must designate the mentors with whom they
wish to work. Student research interests should correspond closely to
those of the preferred mentor, as all field projects will be designed in
agreement with the mentors’ research interests and expertise. Please
