Flathead Lake Biological Station’s
2024 Summer Academic Session

Since 1899, Flathead Lake Biological Station of the University of Montana has offered immersive summer field ecology courses with aquatic and terrestrial focuses. Our summer academic program emphasizes experiential learning through direct field research methods and interactions with natural resource professionals.. These rigorous, hands-on courses meet regulatory and policy requirements for contact hours and reliably transfer to other colleges and universities. Students benefit from low student-faculty ratio, great facilities, a dedicated support staff, and lessons that engage with multidisciplinary research projects and applications. Courses take spectacular field outings and overnight trips throughout the Flathead Watershed including Glacier National Park. See a list of classes below!
