Welcome Undergraduate Students!

As an undergraduate student studying on Beaver Island, you will be immersed in programs tailored to your particular discipline of interest - accelerated classes with real-world experience in a pristine island environment.

You may take field trips to examine plant ecology or the relationships of living organisms to the island ecosystem. Your course work won’t be limited to science. You also may learn to paint, sculpt or bind books in this inspirational environment.

When you return from the field, picture yourself applying these outdoor lessons inside CMU’s state-of-the art new James C. Gillingham Academic Center, completing valuable research that will lead to a career or graduate studies. You may be thinking, “One island. Unmatched opportunities!”
