About the Program

MS Marine Science and Technology alumni apply their understanding of the ocean systems to address critical issues in ocean biodiversity and marine resource management. Alumni are employed by federal, state, and local government agencies as marine resource managers, in nonprofits as marine conservationists, and in aquariums as informal educators. Alumni who complete an MS on the thesis track are well positioned to pursue doctoral degrees in the marine sciences and associated sub-disciplines.

This program is offered as an intercampus program meaning students can take courses at any of the UMass campuses (Dartmouth, Lowell, Boston, and Amherst).
