Courses involve field trips to Flathead Basin sites like Glacier National Park, and most courses include overnight camping. Experience sweeping vistas and traverse spectacular terrain while exploring pristine alpine wilderness, crystal-clear mountain lakes, streams, and rivers--all benefits of an academic adventure and scholarly fun in the "Crown of the Continent" in Northwest Montana. The first FLBS field course was offered in 1899 (120 years ago!), distinguishing FLBS as one of the oldest biological stations in the United States. Our commitment to high-quality education remains consistent with founder Dr. Morton J. Elrod's vision of sharing knowledge through field experience. The Station is located on the east shore of Flathead Lake, ~85 miles north of Missoula, MT. In this pristine setting, you will be one of a diverse group of 40 students living in cozy cabins while advancing your knowledge and skills in ecology. JOIN US on the shores of Flathead Lake for Summer Session 2019! For more about what we do at the Station, visit https://flbs.umt.edu.
