Students will earn 3 graduate credits in science education. Family and friends of participants are welcome to register for the trip without enrolling in the class.

All educators, teacher candidates, and companions are welcome. Special group rate available. Tuition for the graduate credits will be at a reduced rate of $125 per credit. For more information,please contact Michael Giamellaro, the course instructor.
