Announcement
Welcome to the Marine Science Center (MSC), a marine research and educational facility of Northeastern University. Located on the peninsula of Nahant, Massachusetts, jutting into the ocean just five miles NNE of the entrance to Boston Harbor. The MSC offers a pristine New England rocky shore habitat in close proximity to Boston. Northeastern's Marine Science Center is a part of the College of Arts and Sciences.The vision of the MSC consists of three principal components representing three interconnected goals: RESEARCH- the MSC is an internationally recognized research institution that: a) focuses on the ocean environment, marine life and its diversity, ecology, and discovering biotechnological and medical potentials in the sea, and b) attracts scientists of the world to spend varying periods of time doing high quality research that will benefit the university’s students and enhance its reputation; EDUCATION- the MSC is a first class teaching laboratory, a center for undergraduate and graduate education where the theory of marine sciences is as close to its practice as the sea to the station's front door; OUTREACH- the MSC is a learning center with outreach activities to the general public that will enhance the public’s awareness and knowledge of the oceans as a potential for scientific discovery and medical advances.
