If you think that Penn State University, because of its geographical location, is an unlikely place to find world-class research and study-abroad opportunities in oceanography, prepare to be surprised.


In fact, Penn State supports an exciting range of educational and research activities in the study of the ocean and its life, chemistry, physics, geology, and interaction with other parts of the Earth.


Our faculty and researchers are eager to share their excitement about the oceans with you. Check it out.
