The Marine Science Academy is a two part series in Introductory Oceanography made possible through a partnership between NHCS and UNC Wilmington. This course sequence will have your mentally prepped for college with lectures, labs, and fieldwork that has been vetted by UNCW. Career opportunities in the field of marine science can also be explored through internship and completion of a research based Senior Project. Students are also required to participate in a science related club and have opportunities to compare our NC coastal habitats with optional trips to tropical habitats.
