NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 309 
University of the Pacific 
Stockton L, California 
PACIFIC MARINE STATION, Dillon Beach, California 
Pacific marine station provides opportunities for study and 
research in marine biology and related fields of science. Facilities 
include laboratories, library, research museum, darkrooms, and living 
accommodations. A 38 foot converted landing craft, BIOS PACIFICA, 
and a 26 foot whaleboat are available. 
Undergraduate and graduate courses are offered during the summer 
sessions on a non-matriculation basis. These courses are accepted by 
many university departments in fulfillment of the requirement for study 
at a marine station as part of the advanced degree requirements. Usually 
two formal courses are offered during the seven week summer session, one 
of which is given by a visiting instructor from another institution. 
During the academic year there are opportunities for advanced study in 
problems of marine ecology and invertebrate zoology. 
Students from other colleges who desire to study at Pacific Marine 
Station should plan to begin their program by attending classes at the 
Station during the summer session before taking up academic year residence 
at Dillon Beach, although formal admission procedures may be deferred 
until the fall semester.
