Description

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.

The majority of SAFS graduate students are funded by half-time (50%) research assistantships (RA-ships) paid from faculty research grants. An advisor can also fund students using half-time (50%) teaching assistantships (TA-ships) for courses they teach, but this is usually in conjunction with RA-ships for quarters in which TA-ships are not available. For example, a graduate student might TA for 2 quarters and then be funded as an RA for 6 quarters.
