About

Overview The Ocean Sciences and Coastal Studies program from Millersville University of Pennsylvania offers comprehensive classroom instruction and field training in the physical, chemical, geological and biological aspects of oceanography. Students examine the physical aspects of ocean currents, tides and the intimate relationship between the ocean and atmosphere, with significant emphasis on the ocean’s role in climate change. Students acquire a rigorous education in the fundamental theories, but also experience practical field and laboratory applications currently used by working oceanographers.Students graduate with a thorough understanding of the fundamental theories and concepts underpinning the discipline of modern oceanography, and demonstrate an understanding of the scientific process used to address the challenges of the 21st century. They possess high-level quantitative skills using data collected from a variety of contemporary oceanographic sampling platforms, such as earth-orbiting satellites and aircraft, autonomous underwater and moored sensors, and research vessels. They also demonstrate proficiency in the application of current field and laboratory technologies through intensive field-oriented summer courses at our marine station. Lastly, graduates are proficient in the accurate dissemination of scientific information and knowledge by demonstrating effective oral and written communication skills.Career OpportunitiesNatural Sciences ManagerEnvironmental EngineerBiological Science Teacher, PostsecondaryMicrobiologistSoil and Water ConservationistZoologist and Wildlife BiologistBiological TechnicianBiologistFish and Game Warden I want to find another Bachelor Course
