MPS is an accelerated, graduate degree, intended for students who want to generate innovative solutions to marine, coastal, and climate related issues. Students enrolled in this program are exposed to a unique, multidisciplinary curriculum, including science theory, field and laboratory training, legal and regulatory knowledge, communication and media training, and the development of project management skills, designed to prepare them to address environmental challenges as future global leaders.

This accelerated program includes 24 credit hours of coursework, an internship, and then an internship project defense/report. Typically, a student that starts in the Fall (August 2017), can expect to graduate at the end of the following Fall semester (December 2018). Students can take more classes or participate in shorter internships, if approved by the Director, and complete the program faster.
