SEA programs are designed to develop in students a talent for the application
of scientific thinking and method to the marine environment. This program gives
undergraduates the opportunity to study the ocean from a multitude of academic
perspectives and to do it from the platform of a traditional sailing vessel.
It is open to students in the sciences, humanities, and social sciences as
well as to those who are “undecided.”
This is a unique opportunity for Lawrence students, scientists and non-scientists
alike, to learn about our maritime heritage (in art, literature, philosophy,
and politics) and to develop the observational and investigative skills that
grow from sustained
attention to complex physical data.
The 12-week program is divided into the Shore Component (the first six weeks)
and the Sea Component (the remaining six weeks). No sailing experience is necessary. For more information: SEA
