On the Leading Edge

The Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) is a distinguished marine laboratory located in Newport, Oregon.

HMSC serves as Oregon State University’s coastal campus and as an oceanographic research base for six state and federal agencies, as well as a resource for K-12 education groups and the public.

Now in our 54th year of operation, we excel in student research opportunities and experiential instruction. We host a thriving summer internship program and offer an array of academic programs for students in community college through post-doc.
