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.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Students enrolled in the program may participate in some of the following activities:<\/p>\n
