正规澳门赌场网络 our Master of 科学 海洋科学

The mission of the Master of 科学 in Marine 科学s program is to prepare outstanding graduate students for careers or further training in science, 技术, and education by providing an advanced knowledge base and research skills in the marine sciences.

Our curriculum seeks to understand the way the ocean functions and how it is related to earth systems science and human interactions with the environment. You'll study the theoretical underpinnings and applications of disciplines from biology and chemistry to geology and physics, and you'll learn to apply these disciplines to solving real-world problems.

我们的米.S. 海洋科学 also focuses on a thesis research experience in which you'll conduct research and prepare a thesis on a topic selected in consultation with a faculty advisor.
