Summer Courses on Nantucket

students in water with bucketsEach summer, UMass Boston offers several courses from May until August. Many of these courses feature field work that allows the participants to use the island’s natural resources to investigate topics introduced in the classroom.

In most cases, housing at the field station is included in course fees; students provide their own meals and transportation to and from Nantucket. Cost varies yearly.

Courses offered range across all fields of study -- from marine biology to painting to hydogeology. These programs, as well as all of UMass Boston's summer programs, are administered through our Division of Corporate, Continuing, and Distance Education (CCDE). Currently scheduled 2008 course offerings are below. Be sure to check the CCDE Web site for more offerings throughout the year.
