The educational objectives of this Marine Science degree program from University of North Carolina Wilmington are:

• to provide a broad interdisciplinary understanding of marine science to students having strong undergraduate training in mathematics and the sciences

• to develop skills that will enable these students to utilize this knowledge to solve complex marine environmental problems.

• These problem solving skills will provide the foundation for future contributions by the graduates in marine-related industries, environmental management, teaching, research, and other marine-oriented careers. Students will also be prepared to undertake additional graduate study in a doctoral program.
