SEA Campus

The Groundwork for Our Excellence at Sea

Sea Education Association’s campus facilities provide our students the essential springboard to their ship-based courses and provide the groundwork for our excellence at sea. Located in the world-renowned scientific community of Woods Hole, MA, SEA’s campus provides students access to collaborations with leading marine, oceanographic, and environmental studies organizations.

As SEA seeks to continue and expand its world-class scientific and sailing education, we invite you to support our Woods Hole campus. Our campus is the jumping-off point of all of our journeys of self-discovery, environmental stewardship, and action.

Consisting of the James L. Madden Center, the administrative building, historic Stone Cottage, and five student cottages, the SEA campus is a vibrant place facilitating community, collaborative learning, shared experience, and personal growth.

Our Woods Hole shore facilities need to advance to include new spaces, technologies and information sources to keep pace with the way students prefer to learn, and to continue to keep SEA at the forefront of collaborative learning.
