Welcome to The Home Page of the Semester of Immersion!
The Department of Biology is offering students the opportunity to engage in authentic research-based courses in various areas of biology. Instead of spending the spring term taking a typical 12-credit load with courses meeting two to three times per week, the immersion semester consists of courses that meet daily over 5 weeks, giving you the time and flexibility to get more deeply involved in the subject. You can choose to go to cool field sites or immerse yourself in a molecular lab. You will produce and analyze real data, and have a lot of fun doing actual research!
The immersion courses count toward core degree requirements in the Botany, Zoology, and Marine Science programs and as Additional Life Science electives for Biology majors.
Please contact the Biology Major Program assistant, at biology-major@ufl.edu for more information.
Scholarships are available to help defray the costs of immersion courses!
