Hands-on learning


Our faculty, researchers, and students are always asking big questions. Determined and curious, they seek answers in the field: aboard research vessels, hiking in marshes, combing beaches and diving underwater.
 

Where will your ideas take you?

“It’s really neat that the majority of the [CEOE] graduate student body in Lewes lives together. That building of a bond, of a community, is something that I have carried with me decades later.”
