Education for Graduate & Undergraduate Students

PhD Program -- with Princeton University:
•The Departments of Geosciences and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton, in partnership with the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, are seeking applicants for a new graduate program in Ocean Sciences and Marine Biology.

Semester Programs and Courses:
• Summer Program: Summer field courses in marine science and oceanography. Scholarships available. Undergraduate and graduate level.

• Fall Semester: Immerse yourself in a semester of marine science field courses in BBSR's unique research environment. Undergraduate level courses.

• Spring Semester : A January - May program for undergraduates that is divided into two sessions. Students can attend both sessions (semester program) or one session (quarter/trimester program). Students accepted from around the world.

Internships:
• Research Experiences for Undergraduates: This NSF-funded 12-week program allows undergraduate students from the United States to work on short-term research projects. The BBSR REU program is aimed at students who are considering pursuing graduate degrees.

• Princeton-BBSR Summer Internships : Princeton University undergraduate students can spend eight weeks of the summer at BBSR working on collaborative research projects with BBSR and Princeton faculty members.

• Graduate Internships: Students enrolled in accredited graduate degree programs can work on thesis research under the supervision of BBSR faculty members.

• Volunteer Internships: Three- to six-month-long internships, working in the lab of one of BBSR's faculty members on an area of mutual interest. The Volunteer Internship Program is aimed at upper level undergraduates, graduate students and recent graduates.

• Bermuda Programme: Open to Bermudian students only, interns work side-by-side with BBSR scientists on questions relating to Bermuda's environment.

Scholarships:
• CABBS: Opportunities for Canadian upper-level college students (upper-level undergraduates and graduate students) to receive scholarships to attend summer courses and/or to serve as volunteer interns for up to three months in specific laboratories.
• UK Students: Opportunities for UK college students (upper-level undergraduates and graduate students) to receive scholarships to attend summer courses

BBSR has been a noted resource for hands-on education for decades, with graduate, undergraduate and high school students coming from around the world to study at BBSR. Although BBSR is not a degree-granting institution, students participate in BBSR summer courses for credit from a number of prestigious institutions. Since 1997, BBSR has participated in collaborative semester sessions with accredited institutions. BBSR now has collaborative programs for undergraduate students with Duke University, the University of Rhode Island, and Roger Williams University. Students in the program offered with Duke University come from a number of institutions that participate in a marine science consortium.

Participants in BBSR's Graduate Internship Program conduct research toward masters and doctoral degrees at BBSR under the supervision of BBSR resident faculty and of supervisors at their home institutions. Undergraduates participating in the NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program, the BBSR Volunteer Internship Program and the Bermuda Programme obtain invaluable, supervised research experience.

K-12 students visit BBSR with their teachers to take advantage of BBSR's lab facilities and the JASON Project broadcasts.
