In this day and age when students are clamoring more than ever to obtain research and lab experiences that are directly related and applicable to their career interests in marine science, HMSC's Academic Programs are meeting and supporting those needs. Throughout the year, HMSC engages bright and hopeful undergraduate and graduate students who are conducting research, teaching and learning in experiential courses and reaching out to the public about the relevance of their science. These valuable programs provide the needed background and experiences to succeed in the many fields in marine science from research, management and policy. The traditional profile of undergraduates and graduates today in this challenging and rewarding environment is changing. We have students ranging in age from 18-67, single, married, with kids and even grandkids. The reality is, a student pursuing science looks very different today, and as a result provides wonderful diversity and perspective on our science that more closely represents our society. These differing backgrounds combined with the academic opportunities at the center provide a rich environment for learning and transformational experiences.
