You will learn in classes, fieldtrips, through the use of digital cameras and GPS units, as well as through projects you complete over the summer. Topics studied include math, physics, geology, computers, writing, English and another language. We will teach you valuable study skills and provide academic advising to help you create and follow a path to success.
WHERE IS THE UBMS PROGRAM?
Students will live and go to classes at Hamline University, located in Saint Paul, MN. The campus is surrounded by urban Saint Paul and is only minutes to the attractions of the cities including shopping centers, hospitals, scientific-research institutions, businesses, science labs, museums, theatres and other cultural offerings.
Students will also travel around Minnesota on educational and fun fieldtrips. Trips include touring college campuses, canoeing the Root River, visiting the Soudan mine, fossil-hunting in Lilydale, exploring Taylor’s Falls, and conducting research on the St. Croix River.
WHY IS THE UBMS PROGRAM IMPORTANT?
This program will help you clarify your goals for life and help you learn how to achieve them.
