Marine Science - MS

The Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Marine Science (IGPMS) provides broad interdisciplinary training leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Marine science encompasses many disciplines including biology, geology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. We recognize the intrinsic interdisciplinary nature of modern marine science and the necessity for cross-disciplinary graduate-level training through a graduate program that brings together a broad range of marine faculty from eight different departments. Students also build depth through specialization: biological, chemical, and physical oceanography, marine optics and remote sensing, marine geology and geophysics, marine biology, paleoceanography, ocean engineering, and marine policy can all be pursued by students in IGPMS.

• Higher Education and academia

• Nonprofit organizations

• Governmental agencies

• University of California

• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

• National Aeronautics and Space Administration

• IGPMS is a program, not an academic department, which makes us deeply interdisciplinary: our faculty have appointments in other departments and come together to offer the Marine Science graduate program

• Environmental Science

• Environmental Science and Management (ESM)

• Oceanography

• Geography

• Earth Science

• Climate change

• Interdiscplinary

• Ocean engineering

• Marine policy
