Academics

Our curriculum is based on an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary hands-on course of study focused on the world’s oceans and coastlines. Together, students of all majors study the history, literature, policy and science of the sea. Our classrooms include Mystic Seaport’s unparalleled G.W. Blunt White Library, home to one of the world’s most extensive collections of maritime volumes, periodicals and documents, our well-equipped marine science teaching facility near the Mystic River, and a large number of field sites around the region.

The following courses are taught each semester at Williams-Mystic:

• Literature of the Sea
• Maritime History
• Marine Policy
• Marine Science: Oceanographic Processes or Marine Ecology
