PREREQUISITE: Written permission of Dr. Kasper, Biology Department, Rutgers-Newark, NJ 07102.

PLEASE NOTE: This course is given at the field station of the University of Puerto Rico/Mayaguez Campus. A fee of $1,120 will be charged each student to cover the cost of air fare, room, car rental and all expenses except meals. The $1,120 fee is in addition to the normal Rutgers tuition and fees. Contact Dr. Kasper immediately regarding deposit for plane ticket and orientation meeting.

An intensive two-week introduction to tropical biology in Puerto Rico. Emphasis of study will be on principles of ecology and diversity of organisms. The format of the course will be extensive field trips observing various habitats: tropical rain forest, desert, Mangrove swamp, Karst topography, coral reef and commercial plantations. Sleeping facilities are at the biology field station of U.P.R./Mayaguez; they are primitive but comfortable. Ground travel will be by van; food will be purchased on the road.

The course is limited to twelve students. Biology background, career interests and college year will be considered in giving a student preference. Because of the rigorous outdoor activity required for the course, students must be in good physical condition.
