Students and midcoast residents have been asking for an Oceanography Lab Science course that would meet general education requirements as well be fun and interesting – especially for all of us interested in marine science and the midcoast. 

Your requests have been heard.  The UMaine Hutchinson Center is pleased to announce the offering of both the Lecture class (SMS 110) for 3 credits as well as the new Lab component (SMS 111) for one credit.  UMaine science faculty developed the lab component to complement the lecture course.  If you have already taken SMS 110 and only need to add theLab – now you can!

The lecture and laboratory course, Concepts in Oceanography (SMS 110/111) will be offered this summer at the UMaine Hutchinson Center from May 9th to August 19th. The oceanography course has been offered at the Hutchinson Center in past summers, but this year it includes a new laboratory section.   The course meets weekly, and the instructor is School of Marine Sciences professor, Dr. William Ellis.
