Students must enroll in PLSCI 6400 to receive a final grade in PLSCI 6401. This course prepares students for a faculty-led winter-study course, PLSCI 6401, sponsored by the School of Integrative Plant Science, for boots-on-the-ground experience in South American vineyards. Upon completion of the fall course, students will enroll in PLSCI 6401 and in January 2024 travel to Chile to interact with those growing grapes, making wine and developing crucial solutions to climate change challenges. The cost of the trip will be around $2700 or less, including airfare. Some financial aid and grants may be available. Note: if this class does not meet a specific enrollment threshold, it will be cancelled. All students will be notified as soon as possible. Permission code needed to enroll. Contact instructor for more information. Co-meets with PLSCI 3400.
