Academic Programs

The Department of Marine Science, the academic counterpart of the Marine Science Institute, offers graduate and upper-division undergraduate courses at the Institute in the summer, and a limited number of courses during the fall and spring semesters.  The Department offers M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in Marine Science. Graduate students normally spend an academic year on the Austin campus after which they take specialized marine courses and conduct thesis and dissertation research at the Institute.  The School of Biological Sciences offers a B.S. degree in Marine and Freshwater Biology, which includes many courses offered by the Department of Marine Science.
