Master of Science in Oceanography (STEM)

Program Overview

Oceanography

Conduct oceanographic research on the frontlines of climate change. Work with leading international experts on high-latitude ecosystems. Contribute to high-profile reports, panels, committees and steering groups. The master’s degree in oceanography at UAF offers opportunities unlike anywhere else in the world.

The study of oceanography affects the ways we use the sea for food, energy, water and more. It applies chemistry, biology, geology, physics and other branches of science to address some of today’s most fundamental challenges — like how a changing climate can impact the quantity of resources we depend on from the sea.

UAF's oceanography master’s program focuses on the high latitudes of the North Pacific and the Arctic Ocean, a region experiencing some of the planet’s most rapid rates of change. It also brings together some of the leading authorities in the field, with faculty who serve on state, federal, international and non-governmental advisory panels
