Minorities in Marine Sciences Undergraduate Program at the Shannon Pt. Marine Center

西华盛顿大学提议在香农角海洋中心实施海洋科学本科少数民族项目（MIMSUP）。该项目将在大三的两个季度里招收少数族裔本科生。大约8名少数族裔学生将与世界水大学的其他学生一起参加一个教育项目，该项目包括最初阶段的专业小组教学，随后是综合环境中的正式课程。冬季区提供海洋科学基础的物理、化学和生物过程的基本训练；关于使用精密分析仪器的讲习班；参与监测和研究项目；期刊俱乐部；还有实地考察。春季学期包括三门海洋科学课程。学生将在这两个季度获得30个学分。世界海洋大学已经在香农角分配了一个教员职位来监督这个项目。

Western Washington University proposes to implement a Minorities in Marine Science Undergraduate Program (MIMSUP) at the Shannon Point Marine Center. This program will recruit minority undergraduates for two quarters of their junior year. Approximately eight minority students will join other WWU students in an educational program that combines an initial phase of specialized group instruction, followed by formal courses in an integrated setting. The Winter Quarter provides fundamental training in the physical, chemical and biological processes basic to marine science; workshops on use of sophisticated analytical instrumentation; participation in monitoring and research projects; a journal club; and field trips. The Spring Quarter includes three marine science courses. Students will receive 30 credits for these two quarters. WWU has allocated a faculty position to Shannon Point to supervise the program.
