School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences
The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (SAFS) offers two graduate degree programs: Master of Science in Aquatic and Fishery Sciences and a Doctor of Philosophy in Aquatic and Fishery Sciences.
At the SAFS, you will graduate employment-ready with the skills to advance the discipline of fisheries and aquatic sciences. You will learn to develop, articulate and implement novel research that addresses relevant questions or issues in a selected discipline; communicate science effectively to peers and integrate knowledge across disciplines; and gain leadership skills by mentoring, advising, and instructing junior colleagues.
The Master of Science (MS) degree is a learned degree, often precursory to the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. Typically, the student is required to complete a research-based thesis. Course requirements are flexible to support the educational and career goals of the student. Students interested in an MS degree should contact individual faculty members to request information on current research and graduate opportunities. Students completing an MS degree may petition to pursue a Ph.D. degree without reapplying.
