The College of Arts and Sciences, in conjunction with
the Center for Marine
Science, oversees an
interdisciplinary program of study leading to the Master of Science degree
in marine science. The educational objectives of this degree program are:
-
to provide a broad interdisciplinary
understanding of marine science to students having strong undergraduate
training in mathematics and the sciences
-
to develop skills that will enable these
students to utilize this knowledge to solve complex marine environmental
problems.
These problem solving skills will
provide the foundation for future contributions by the graduates in
marine-related industries, environmental management, teaching, research, and
other marine-oriented careers. Students will also be prepared to undertake
additional graduate study in a doctoral program.
