Undergraduate Student Programs

The Duke Marine Lab offers undergraduate residential courses in fall and spring semesters and in two summer terms. Courses are taught by world-renowned faculty from Duke University and other universities and research institutions. Small class sizes and an island setting facilitate rewarding student-faculty interactions. Enrollment is open to all qualified Duke and non-Duke students. Note that a special tuition rate (representing a savings of $2000) is automatic for undergraduate (Duke and non-Duke) students enrolled in the fall or spring semester. Enrollment information is available here >.

The Duke Marine Lab has formal agreements with 35 undergraduate institutions that are members of the Marine Science Education Consortium (MSEC). Students at MSEC schools should consult with their on-campus MSEC representative about studying at the Duke Marine Lab.
