MISSION

We provide students with a cutting-edge marine science education that emphasizes mentoring and teaching integrated with independent research. Through our curriculum and research-based graduate program, we prepare students for careers in science, education and outreach, conservation, policy and management, as well as the pursuit of doctoral degrees related to the marine sciences. The great wealth of nearby marine resources, the faculty emphasis on mentoring and teaching integrated with research, and the excellent facilities, staff, and marine operations contribute to make this one of the best M.S. in Marine Science programs in the United States.
