and chemistry of life, energetics, inheritance,
evolution.
Moss Landing
Marine Laboratories
The California State University began
operation of the Moss Landing Marine
Laboratories, Moss Landing, California, in the
fall semester 1966. This facility functions as
a seaside extension of the campuses of seven
cooperating state universities (East Bay, Fresno,
Monterey Bay, Sacramento, San Francisco, San
Jose, and Stanislaus). It offers full-time course-work
in marine biology, oceanography, and
other marine sciences for majors in either the
biological or physical sciences whose objectives
include further graduate study, teaching the
sciences, or research in the marine sciences.
Properly qualified upper-division and graduate
students may enroll at the Fresno State campus
for a term of instruction at Moss Landing
and earn resident credit for such coursework.
See Earth and Environmental Science Depart-ment
for on-campus coursework in general
oceanography and geology courses related to
marine science.
Space reservation is required for attending
Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. Forms
for this purpose are available from the Biol-ogy
Department or Moss Landing Marine
Laboratories, P.O. Box 223, Moss Landing,
CA 95039. Priority is determined based upon
the date the space reservation form is received
at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. Since
enrollment is limited, interested students
should make early application.
COURSES
Note: The following courses are offered at
the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories.
MSCI 103 and 104 are usually recommended
for first semesters of full-time students.
