Master of Science in Marine

Graduate programs are offered in Atmospheric Science, Earth Science, and Marine Science. Within marine sciences the subdisciplines include: biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography.Students applying for admission to the M.S. or Ph.D. programs in the Earth sciences should have an adequate background in geology, as well as at least one year each of chemistry, physics, and calculus. Student with degrees in related fields (e.g., mathematics, engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology) are also strongly encouraged to apply. Typically, a student’s graduate course work is tailored based on their research interests, with sufficient flexibility to address any deficiencies that may be identified. MEAS is an inter-disciplinary geoscience department, and graduate students are encouraged to explore coursework beyond their focus areas, both within our program and across the University.

A Bachelor's degree in a science, mathematics or engineering is required for entry into the M.S. program in Atmospheric science, Earth Science, and Biological, Chemical, Geological or Physical Oceanography.have successfully (cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher) completed at least one year of full-time study in a degree program at a regionally accredited four-year US College or university
