VIMS and Marine Science Education

VIMS plays an important role in marine science education for a wide variety of audiences and age levels.

The VIMS School of Marine Science is the professional graduate school in marine science for the College of William and Mary.

The Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program (MAP) at VIMS works closely with schools, businesses, governmental agencies, and individuals to provide information on a wide range of marine-related programs and activities. The Bridge, a web-based clearinghouse of the best on-line resources for marine science education, is developed and maintained by Sea Grant marine education specialists, and ChesSIE provides resources and information specifically for mid-Atlantic area teachers.

VIMS also offers numerous internships for aspiring scientists at the undergraduate and secondary levels.
