The physical oceanography concentration in the 海洋 & Earth Sciences B.S. degree is designed for students considering employment or graduate work in the field of physical oceanography. Physical oceanography is the study of physical conditions and physical processes in the ocean, especially the transport and physical properties of ocean waters (particularly heat and salt).
Program Highlights
-
The program provides student with the necessary training for employment with a B.S. in a wide range of federal, state, local and private venues
-
The program provides students with the necessary background for graduate work in oceanography, marine science, applied math and environmental science
-

Requirements
Students must first declare the 海洋 and Earth science major, physical oceanography concentration, with the chief departmental advisor (CDA). Entering students should be prepared to take MATH 211 (Calculus I), although students with math deficiencies can take remedial math classes as needed (e.g., 数学102, 103M, 162M, 163 or 166, as needed; note that all of these courses will not necessarily be required before taking MATH 211; please consult the catalog or CDA for details).
