Oceanography<\/h1>\n

The Oceanography major prepares students in the field of oceanography, with an emphasis on problem solving and decision making in an ocean setting. This broad-based oceanography curriculum encompasses the study of chemistry, biology, physics, geology, writing and communications, computer science, mathematics, humanities, and social sciences. Graduates of the program may pursue employment in the various fields of ocean sciences (resource management, aquaculture, research, environmental protection, science education, or oceanography) or graduate education.<\/p>\n

In addition to meeting the college requirement for graduation with at least a 2.0 grade point average for the B.S. degree, graduating students are required to have a minimum grade point average of 2.25 in the Oceanography program core courses. For the Oceanography program, core courses are defined as courses with the prefixes BI, CH, OS, as well as the courses GE221 and EN202.<\/p>\n

The sequence of courses shown below will be taken by candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Oceanography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
