Yes, if you are an undergraduate and you want to:
- study endangered orcas in the wild from a hybrid sailboat
- work with experts in killer whale conservation and acoustics
- design your own research project at Friday Harbor Labs
- learn in a small group and get a lot of individual time with instructors
- earn 18 credits from the University of Washington
- gain confidence in your major and career choice
You don’t have to be a science major to apply; you just have to be interested in the marine environment and want to have a 10-week off-campus adventure.
"[Researching]….the southern residents [killer whales]….has encouraged me further to continue to pursue my degrees in environmental law and public service." -- Courtney Kneipp, Hendrix College
