Kutztown University's involvement with the Chincoteague Bay Field Station (CBFS)- formerly the Marine Science Consortium- has allowed us to offer a comprehensive, hands-on, field-oriented Marine Science program for 50 years!
Located adjacent to Chincoteague Bay and the National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island, VA, CBFS provides outstanding inter-disciplinary educational and research opportunities. Shallow-draft boats, a 50-ft-steel-hull research vessel, a small whaler skiff, and kayaks are available for education and research from the back bay to the Atlantic Ocean.
Field experience is one of the most critical pedagogues in Marine Science at Kutztown and is integral to all courses taught at Wallops Island.
