The Dauphin Island Sea Lab’s Summer University Program is proud to offer undergraduate classes during the academic year. Our SeaMester program is designed to give hands on and on the water experiences during college courses that you can not receive while on our MESC campuses.

Currently, undergraduate courses are offered in the Spring and Summer. Students may take the courses during their junior or senior year with the option of living in residence on Dauphin Island.

The undergraduate courses are open to any in-state or out-of-state students.
