Ocean Sciences
College or University: University of California, Santa Cruz
Type of degree: M.S.
Brief overview of program: The Ocean Sciences department offers a Ocean Sciences Master of Science degree. The degree combines core courses and electives to provide depth and breadth in ocean sciences with a focused thesis to provide experience in original research. In addition to the core Ocean Sciences faculty, the Affiliated Faculty includes faculty from related disciplines within Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Environmental Studies, and Physics who sponsor students in the program. While the Ocean Sciences Ph.D. program has a focused oceanographic orientation, the Ocean Sciences Masters program is more broad, and has traditionally attracted many students in marine biology and ecology. All of the four pathways described in the Ph.D. program description, as well as customized programs of study that combine related disciplines, are supported.
Graduates from the program are excellently prepared to take research or management positions in organizations concerned with the marine environment, become marine science educators, or enter first-rate doctoral programs in ocean sciences and related fields.
