The SFRC’s program in Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences conducts research, teaching, and extension programs in four broad areas:
- Sustainable fisheries
- Aquaculture
- Aquatic animal health
- Conservation and management of aquatic environments
The School’s program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences leads to the Master of Science, Master of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (non-thesis), and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with a program in fisheries and aquatic sciences.
The PhD in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences is designed to train graduate students in fundamental science and its application to the study of fishery and aquatic resource problems. Students entering a PhD program typically desire careers as researchers or teachers with academic institutions, government agencies or the private sector. The PhD program is normally a three to four year program beyond the Master’s degree or a five to six year program beyond the Bachelor’s degree. PhD students with Master’s degrees usually take courses for one to two years before working full-time on their dissertation project.
