Study Abroad with MCC Life Science Department

Mesa Community College has exciting study abroad opportunities for students!

Summer 2023-Puerto Peñasco, Mexico

people studying marine organisms This introduction to Marine Biology, designed for the non-major, will take you to the Sea of Cortez (our nearest ocean experience), which has one of the best intertidal expanses in the world! At low tide, as much as 300 feet of what was once covered by the sea is exposed. Students will study the area between the tides and collect both plant and animal specimens, which will be studied under the microscope. Students will take part in an ongoing scientific survey of intertidal organisms in local habitats.

For student posts and pictures from their experiences, check out the blog below. Enjoy!
