The Marine Studies Minor Program is designed to suit students from a range of academic backgrounds. This program includes course work both at the Woods Hole and on one of the tall ships operated by the program. Destinations of cruises range from Labrador to the Caribbean. This program earns 22 quarter-hours for course work, and nearly completes the entire Minor program while providing blue water experience. The SeaSemester courses receive credit directly from Northeastern, and the College offers a waiver of some Core Curriculum requirements as an added benefit for participation.

An informative video is available from the Marine Studies Office. There are frequent opportunities for field trips, many to coastal sites, through this program. We try to keep the Marine Studies Minors updated on these as they are scheduled. Northeastern University is a member of the Massachusetts Bay Marine Studies Consortium. The Consortium offers several exciting limited-enrollment courses made up of students from 18 local colleges.
