CMESter-In-Residence

Science students may also apply for our semester-in-residence program. The semester-in-residence program is designed to provide undergraduates with exposure to marine studies through introductory graduate-level classes and individual research projects that are guided by faculty advisers.

Internships

Students majoring in science, engineering or mathematics may also compete for one of our ten summer research internships (supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences) or a Physical Ocean Science & Engineering (POSE) summer internship. These summer interns conduct guided research in marine science.

Other undergraduate students with backgrounds in Science or policy disciplines (economics, political science, international relations) who want to research the legal, political, and social aspects of the marine environment and the policy implications may want to apply for a Marine Policy internship.

Want to Study Abroad?

Students from a wide variety of majors can join us for our study abroad programs in New Zealand and Bermuda. These trips explore the marine biological, geological, chemical and cultural environments of the destinations.
