Marine Conservation and Resource Management - MS

Oceans dominate the Earth! The wise stewardship of marine and coastal resources requires that we expand our knowledge of the processes that influence the ecosystem services and goods that fuel our socioeconomic needs. The mission of the Department of Marine Sciences is to develop this knowledge through research and training the next generation of marine scientists. 

In an effort to expand the education mission of the Department of Marine Sciences, the Department has added a unique and timely graduate program, the Master of Science (MS) in Marine Conservation and Resource Management.  The program does not rely on the completion of original thesis research but instead couples rigorous coursework with the development of interdisciplinary skills and techniques to address pressing environmental problems through the completion of individual and group projects that demonstrate professional skills development.
