Oceanography

May be elected as a departmental concentration program

Students in this program of study earn a Bachelor of Science degree. They receive a broad foundation in natural and physical sciences from which they can launch a professional career in marine and freshwater science. Students are encouraged to tailor their academic programs along the lines of the four options described below.

Prerequisites to Concentration. Introductory Geology (GEOSCI 116, 117, or 120) and GEOSCI 231; BIOLOGY 162 (or equivalent); MATH 115 and 116; PHYSICS 140/141 and 240/241; and two of three from CHEM 125/130, 210/211, and 230.

Concentration Program. All concentrators must complete GEOSCI 222/223 and one course from among GEOSCI 305, 310, 351, and 418/419. All concentrators must also complete MATH 215, 216, and NAVARCH 425 as cognates to the concentration. Each concentrator must then also complete one of the following four options:

  1. Marine Geology. 16-18 credits that must include GEOSCI 449 and the remaining credits chosen from: GEOSCI 305, 310, 351, 415, 418/419, 420, 422, 430, 455, 466, 467, 470, 478, 479, 485; EEB 380; CHEM 365; NRE 438; and AOSS 440.
  2. Marine Geophysics. 16-18 credits that must include GEOSCI 449 and the remaining credits chosen from: GEOSCI 305, 310, 351, 483, 484, 485, 487, 488, CHEM 365; MATH 405, 450, 454, 471; and NRE 438.
  3. Marine Geochemistry. 16-18 credits that must include GEOSCI 478 and the remaining credits chosen from: GEOSCI 305, 310, 415, 422, 430, 449, 455, 466, 473, 474, 479, 485; CHEM 210/211, 215/216, 302, 340, 365; EEB 380; and NRE 438.
  4. Marine Biology/Paleobiology. 16-18 credits that must include EEB 380 and the remaining credits from: GEOSCI 305, 418/419, 430, 437, 449, 456, 473, 478, 485; BIOLOGY 305; EEB 381, 437, 438, 440, 483/484; MCDB 408, 411; CHEM 365; and NRE 438.
