Behnke and Davidson are the first two participants in the new Semester at WHOI, a tuition-supported program for advanced junior and senior undergraduates majoring in science, engineering, or mathematics that features a significant research experience. Students have the option of taking specially designed ocean science courses or graduate courses for undergraduate credit.
