Description:
| Hundreds of students from around the United States and abroad have participated in our high school programs. If you are a high school student or knows of someone who is, please take the time to be enticed by this exceptional experience at "SEA". Class size is limited and is filled by qualified students on a space available basis. SEA offers three programs: (1) Science at SEA (sponsored by SEA) and high school students who have completed their freshman, sophomore, or junior years and have successfully completed at least one high school science and one high school mathematics course are welcome to apply.
Science at SEA focuses on Cape Cod coastal and offshore marine research, maritime history and the fundamentals of nautical science. You live and study, initially, on Sea Education Association's (SEA's) campus in Woods Hole and then at sea on board SEA's sailing vessel, the SSV Corwith Cramer. Oceanography of the Gulf of Maine (co-sponsored by SEA and the Shoals Marine Laboratory of Cornell University) is open to high school students who have competed their sophomore, junior or senior years and have completed two high school science courses, or college students who have completed their freshmen year and are not majoring in the sciences, are welcome to apply. SEA and Shoals Marine Lab offer a unique academic opportunity to experience life on an island off the coast of Maine (the Shore Component) and on board SEA's sailing vessel, the SSV Corwith Cramer (the Sea Component), studying oceanic and coastal marine environments. By living, working and studying together in an atmosphere of cooperation, you achieve common goals, learn more about yourself and gain new perspectives of the ocean environment and its wildlife. OGM is an academically rigorous program that exposes you to the science of the sea through hands-on participation, while earning you four undergraduate college credits from Cornell University. The Oceanography of the Southern California Bight (co-sponsored by SEA, The University of Southern California's Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies and The Buckley School) are offering an academic course focused on marine environments off the Southern California coast. This seminar is open to high school students who have completed their sophomore, junior, or senior years and have successfully completed two high school science courses, or college students who have completed their freshmen year and are not majoring in the sciences. The 10-day Shore Component is conducted at the Wrigley Institute's Marine Science Center, where students investigate the pristine near-shore communities protected by the Marine Life Refuge. Oceanographic investigations continue during the Sea Component on board SEA's newest sailing research vessel the Robert C. Semans. On board, students explore the offshore
oceanic environment from biological, physical, chemical, and geological perspectives. The OSCB is an academically rigorous, hands-on program | |
