Spring In-Residence Overview and Application

2025 Spring In-Residence Program

Spend Spring quarter in Monterey! This 10-week program includes a full slate of courses at Hopkins Marine Station, interactive labs, visits to the aquarium, snorkeling, whale watching and sampling at sea. Students also have the option of residing on main campus and commuting for one or more classes.

We are looking for motivated students who are interested in hands-on, experiential learning in a small-group setting. The courses we offer in the spring emphasize scientific inquiry, and thus the only academic prerequisite we recommend strongly is a relevant introductory science class (e.g., GEOLSCI 1, BIO 43, HUMBIO 2A). The most important prerequisite for the in-residence program at Hopkins Marine Station is enthusiasm for working and learning outdoors.
