PMEC’s greatest strength is the quality of its students. Across all three campuses, choosing to study marine energy provides relevant, hands-on learning experiences that cut across technological, environmental, and societal considerations 

Though the Center itself is not a degree-granting institution, faculty at each of the three campuses teach undergraduate and graduate courses and supervise theses and dissertations.

Prospective students interested in studying marine energy should consider applying to one of PMEC’s three partner universities. Undergraduate students typically begin a connection to PMEC during the course of their degree and may choose to focus on marine energy through undergraduate research, project work or as part of the Marine Energy Collegiate Competition. Those interested in pursuing an advanced degree in marine energy, especially those considering doctoral degrees, should connect with a PMEC faculty member in the area of their interest for guidance on applying.

See the Work with PMEC page for any open postdoctoral positions.
