Leeward CC Marine Option Program
Are you interested in learning more about the oceans? This certificate program is for you! The Marine Option Program is a UH-system-wide program that aims to provide educational opportunities for students from all disciplines (not just marine biology majors!) who are interested in the ocean. The mission of the Marine Option Program (MOP) is to engage with and educate students on ocean-related topics through experiential marine education. We connect students with research and internship opportunities, offer marine-focused experiences, and exciting field trips!
