Road Scholar at MSC

A part of our Adult programming, through a partnership with Road Scholar, The Marine Science Consortium offers extraordinary educational opportunities to expand your physical and mental horizons and meet new friends. There are no grades or tests on Road Scholar programs. All that’s needed is an inquiring mind, an adventurous spirit, and the belief that learning and discovery are lifelong pursuits.

MSC's Road Scholar programs are designed to offer adults academic experiences in coastal ecology and the natural history of Virginia's Eastern Shore. Courses are offered during the spring, summer and fall seasons. Participants are housed in modern suite-style residencies with two double occupancy bedrooms to one shared bathroom. Single rooms are available with private bathrooms for an additional price.
