Summer Courses

Summer courses at Chincoteague Bay Field Station are 3-week classes designed to get students out of the classroom and into the field. Thanks to the unique collaboration of our member universities of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), students:
  • Gain access to cutting edge scientific equipment
  • Learn from leading experts
  • Develop practical field and research skills

​Check out our summer course offerings here. 

Field Trips

University Field Trips at CBFS are the perfect complement to courses run during the academic year. Faculty members typically bring groups over the weekends; seasonal breaks and summer classes allow for longer, more in-depth studies. Trip specifics are arranged to accommodate individual group needs. Field trips can include research cruises, half and full-day visits to field sties, use of laboratories and equipment, lodging and meals, and more.
