As one of the best undergraduate marine science programs in the country, our pre-college program is no different. Modeled after our undergraduate curriculum, students will work with our internationally-recognized faculty on our prime waterfront location on the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n

Our hands-on curriculum in the field, on the water and in the lab has <\/span>activities designed to explore marine biology, marine geology, marine chemistry, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students should come prepared to get wet and work hard each day as they participate in indoor and outdoor activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a look at our sample schedule<\/a> to get a sense of the daily activities.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text]Register<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwdGl0bGUlM0QlMjJWaWRlbyUyMG9mJTIwTWFyaW5lJTIwU2NpZW5jZSUyMHN0dWRlbnQlMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjU2MCUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjMxNSUyMiUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tJTJGZW1iZWQlMkZNYnBFV3RUYktuYyUzRnJlbCUzRDAlMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]\n
