The field station links Nantucket to University of Massachusetts faculty and students, and to universities and nonprofit science centers around the world. The island’s vast expanses of protected open space provide professors, postdoctoral scientists, graduate and undergraduate students, and visiting scientists with a wealth of research and educational opportunities. NFS also offers students university courses, independent study, internships, and group visits.
