A Note to Potential Students and their Parents:

We appreciate your interest in the Three Seas Program. While there are numerous field programs in marine biology to choose from, why should you select this one?

Our program is targeted for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students eager to broaden their knowledge of marine science in an intense, year-long experience that will subsequently enable them to pursue this career track at the highest levels. This program is unique in that no other college program offers the opportunity to learn in three distinct locations, explore the field in such depth, and enroll in a greater variety of marine biology courses. The progressive and incremental structure of the Three Seas Program allows students with only an intermediate exposure to the biological sciences to emerge from the program ready to plan and execute marine research, whether in graduate school, or in a career with government agencies or private consulting firms.

The Three Seas Program recruits high-caliber faculty who direct active research programs. They participate in our program because they enjoy the ability to instruct motivated students at an advanced level, and in a field setting not possible in traditional university courses. These valuable contacts with our faculty allow our students to emerge from the program with a clear understanding of what this career track requires from them, with the added bonus that these interactions often result in our students finding a graduate advisor whose research program matches their interests.

The mark of our program’s success is measured not only by our students’ experience while in our company, but by what they are able to accomplish after completing the Three Seas Program. As we begin our third decade, we have amassed an impressive group of alumni who have succeeded in a variety of marine-related pursuits. Throughout this brochure you’ll find testimonials from past students who have used our program as a springboard to greater opportunities in the marine sciences.

While we have tried to include as much pertinent information concerning our unique program as possible in this website, you will no doubt have additional questions as you begin the application process. With that in mind, please do not hesitate to contact me via any of the methods listed below, and I will be sure to get back to you. I look forward to receiving your application!

Sincerely,
