NOTE: Beginning 2012-2013, all courses formerly designated with the ESSM prefix now have the KINS prefix. Old course numbers are noted in parentheses. PHED activity courses retain the PHED course prefix.
Courses are offered only at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab operated by the Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium of which Samford University is an active member. A minimum of at least one year of biology (preferably more) is required before any upper-level course in marine science may be attempted. Admission into all courses is subject to ultimate approval by the instructor. Unless otherwise indicated, marine science courses (MARS) are offered during the Summer.
