Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Marine Science
The IGPMS provides broad interdisciplinary training leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Marine science encompasses many disciplines including biology, geology, chemistry, physics and engineering. We recognize the intrinsic interdisciplinary nature of modern marine science and the necessity for cross-disciplinary graduate-level training through a graduate program that brings together a broad range of marine faculty from eight different departments. Students also build depth-biological, chemical, and physical oceanography, marine optics and remote sensing, marine geology and geophysics, marine biology, paleoceanography, ocean engineering and marine policy can all be pursued by students in IGPMS.
