Finances
MLML is funded by SJSU through three different revenue streams. Funding for the Graduate Program: faculty and staff salaries, operating expenses and equipment are funded by SJSU's College of Science. Secondly, MLML receives a percentage from all grants awarded through the SJSU Research Foundation to support our research program administration, facilities and financial management. Our third source of funding comes from donations and philanthropic gifts administered for MLML by SJSU's Tower Foundation that support scholarships, research projects and programs.
MLML is known for a hands-on, field-oriented approach which places our students, faculty, researchers and staff at the frontiers of marine science worldwide where discoveries are being made.
