About the course

Any degree seeking student with at least a B.S. or B.A. degree in a basic science may apply to enter the Master’s program. Most successful applicants without a Master’s degree in oceanography or a ly allied field are accepted into the Master’s degree program. However, such applicants, as well as applicants with Master’s degrees in oceanography or a related field, may also apply directly to the Ph.D. program. Admission to the M.S. or Ph.D. program is granted upon a favorable majority vote of the faculty and upon agreement of a faculty member to act as a major professor. The candidate for the Ph.D. degree is required to take at least 18 semester hours in areas related to the student’s specialty in addition to the general M.S. requirements. The content of these 18 hours will be determined by the student, their advisor and the student’s supervisory committee. These requirements apply to students entering the Ph.D. program with an M.S. degree in a related field as well as students with an M.S. in Oceanography. Also, all students must take 24 semester hours of dissertation. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
