Research Initiatives

Bowdoin students are among a handful of undergraduates nationwide who have the opportunity to be directly involved in Arctic research. In addition to faculty-mentored scientific and environmental fieldwork, students also have access to the collections of the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum, which provide a rich ground for scholarly, curatorial and cultural studies.
