Bachelor of Arts in Marine Affairs

Program Overview

The Ocean needs scientific study, but it also needs skilled advocates trained in marine science to effect change in policy, law, business, and communications.  The Bachelor of Arts in Marine Affairs is an interdisciplinary marine science degree that focuses on the fundamentals of marine science, the nature of the changing systems, sustainability of ocean resources, and social and environmental justice.  Marine Affairs professionals are well prepared to advocate, educate, communicate, and liaise between the existing marine resource problems and the solutions that society can implement.  Students in this major will be prepared to contribute to ocean advocacy in professional positions and/or could pursue advanced degrees in science, administration, policy, resource management, and/or law.  Students further refine their career paths by selecting a minor in business, criminal justice, management, public administration, strategic communication, or sustainability. This program requires a research practicum or internship related to the student’s desired specialization.
