Students describe their time at FLBS as a transformative experience topped off with a judicious share of scholarly fun and camaraderie. They attribute this to the immersion-learning advantage afforded by a program where students take one course at a time.
Dartmouth graduate student Melissa DeSiervo attended in 2019 and notes, “I truly can’t believe how much I learned in only two weeks, all while having fun and connecting with other scientists!"

These courses will be of interest to rising sophomores (Field Ecology), upper division students, and early graduate students. At FLBS, students benefit from academics influenced by synergism of multidisciplinary research and education, low student-faculty ratio, great facilities, and a dedicated support staff.
