Students admitted to the course will enroll in either ENVS 144 (L+L) or BIOL 144, which counts as a non-lab course in the Biology major. Lectures will occur twice-weekly in Winter quarter, and students will embark on a 10-day camping and kayaking expedition in Baja California Sur and the Sea of Cortez during spring break 2019.

The ESS department and the College of Arts and Sciences are able to offer a limited amount of financial support to students who need it; students who wish to request this support can do so on the application form.
