The program offers motivated and exceptional students the opportunity to achieve aspirations in an efficient 5-year combined program at Texas A&M, completing either the Bachelor of Science (BS) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree (in the Department of Geology and Geophysics) and the non-thesis Master of Ocean Science and Technology (in the Department of Oceanography). The concurrent degree program will enable these motivated students to coordinate the required BA/BS coursework and Master of Ocean Science and Technology coursework to complete the required credit hours for each degree without diminishing scope or quality of work and within 5 years.
