This flexible program allows you to focus on a specific area of oceanography – biological, chemical, geological, and physical – as well as in interdisciplinary and related areas such as atmospheric chemistry.

Master of Science in Oceanography (with thesis)

Program requirements: thesis, OCG 695, and participation in a regular ocean research cruise. For specialization in biological or chemical oceanography, OCG 501, 521, 540, and 561; for specialization in geological oceanography, six credits of 500- and 600-level OCG courses outside the geological oceanography discipline (not including OCG 695); for specialization in physical oceanography, OCG 501, 530, and OCG 610 or 613.
