Marine Engineering

Image
Campus center atrium, wide hero — Landing page imagery, admissions/home.

An engineering degree first and a marine one second. You will build a vehicle, test it in the basin, and probably break one before you graduate.

Aquaculture and Fisheries

Aquaculture hero — shellfish longline harvest — Program imagery, fisheries/aquaculture cluster.

Growing seafood and managing wild stocks, taught as one subject because in practice nobody works on only one of them.

Oceanography

Image
Coastal engineering hero — dune restoration site — Program imagery, coastal engineering cluster.

The physics, chemistry and geology of the ocean, taught by a department that operates its own research vessel. Every student in this program goes to sea.

Marine Geoscience

Image
Coastal bluff overlook, wide — Landing page imagery, aspirational hero.

The geology of the ocean and the coast — sediment, structure, and the climate record held in both. The smallest of the undergraduate science programs and the one with the most field time.

Marine Biology

Image
Campus green, students gathered — Landing page imagery, campus life hero.

The foundational degree in marine life, and the route into most of the graduate work that follows it. Field work starts in the first year.

Marine Policy

Image
Aerial-style view of the coastal campus cluster — Landing page imagery, establishing hero.

Ocean governance taught inside a science faculty, so that the policy arguments rest on the evidence rather than gesturing at it. Includes the policy clinic.

Environmental Science

Image
Boardwalk toward the field station, wide — Landing page imagery, coastal hero.

The applied environmental degree, built around estuaries, water quality and the coast. It is the most interdisciplinary program we run.
