Marine Science - BA College of Creative Studies

The CCS Marine Science major is a new program designed to offer students the ability to pursue an education that spans multiple disciplines in marine science while simultaneously building the skills and confidence to conduct marine research. As a student in the program, you’ll build foundations in chemistry, biology, earth science, engineering, physics, probability and statistics, math, and writing. In addition, you’ll learn what it means to do research and you’ll pursue opportunities to work alongside marine science experts to design and carry out research projects. This program is ideal for you if you’re self-motivated, fascinated by the ocean, and want to become a part of the next generation of ocean-knowledge creators.
