- The Five College Coastal and Marine Sciences (FCCMS) program draws on a rich array of courses and faculty specialists at the five college campuses, affording a range of study rarely available at the undergraduate level.
- In 1986, a group of faculty from the Five Colleges created this program to give undergraduates the opportunity to explore some of these environmental issues. The program offers an interdisciplinary, hands-on curriculum addressing coastal and marine ecology/geology, resource management and public policy, oceanography, and coastal engineering.
