A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
The Nantucket Field Station provides UMass Boston students with unique, hands-on experiences.
According to the field station webpage, "Each summer, UMass Boston offers several field courses from late May through August. These courses feature fieldwork that allows participants to use the island’s natural and cultural resources to investigate classroom topics. Courses offered explore many fields of study -- from history to marine biology to spider ecology. These programs, as well as all of UMass Boston's summer programs, are administered through UMass Boston's Continuing and Professional Studies, which oversees corporate, continuing, and distance education."
