Undergraduate Studies:

Marine Biology is one of the five new specialization tracks within the Biology major at Stanford. Hopkins courses fulfill many of the requirements in this track. However, the breadth of Hopkins coursework allows students in other Biology tracks and in other departments (such as Earth Systems, Human Biology, Geology and even humanities departments) to fulfill major requirements.

Courses that satisfy specific Bio requirements are noted on the course page.

Most of the courses at Hopkins have labs or hands-on experiences. Independent research, for which credit is given, is encouraged. Many undergraduates publish work done here during class or a summer internship. Research done at Hopkins can be used for an honors project/thesis. With small class sizes, you will be able to work one-on-one with professors in a way that is unlike almost anything else you can find at Stanford.   This not only adds tremendously to the in-class learning experience, but it gives you first hand insights into how real science gets done and the potential of science and research as a career.  Learning at Hopkins Marine Station doesn't just happen in the classroom...   Come and indulge your curiosity about the natural world in ways you've never imagined before!
