华盛顿大学海洋学院研究生课程的目标是通过课程和独立研究使您的专业发展。为此，我们为您提供了设计科学程序，体验远洋海洋学，开发教学资料的机会，以便为学术界，政府和科研机构的教学，研究和/或行政管理职业做好充分的准备。私营部门。除少数例外，所有学生均被录取为博士学位。程序。我们长期以来一直接纳海岸警卫队和海军成员参加为期两年的硕士课程。尽管我们的系由反映基础科学（即生物海洋学，化学海洋学，海洋地质与地球物理，物理和自然科学）的学术选择来组织，但大多数学生都将捍卫MS作为其攻读博士学位的一部分。海洋学），许多研
The goal of the graduate program at the University of Washington School of Oceanography is to enable your professional growth through course and independent research. We accomplish this by providing opportunities for you to design scientific programs, to experience sea-going oceanography, to develop a teaching portfolio in order to be well-prepared for careers in teaching, research, and/or administration in academia, government, and the private sector. With few exceptions, all students are admitted into the Ph.D. program. We have a long history of admitting members of the Coast Guard and Navy into a two-year Masters program. Most students will defend an M.S. as part of their progress to the Ph.D.<br><br>Although our department is organized by academic options reflecting the basic sciences (i.e. Biological Oceanography, Chemical Oceanography, Marine Geology and Geophysics, and Physical Oceanography), many of the research programs are interdisciplinary with particular focus on climate change, coastal processes, and extreme environments. Graduate certificate programs associated with the school include the Program on Climate Change and the Astrobiology Program. Faculty members from within the school are also participants in the recently-awarded NSF IGERT focused on societal and environmental issues related to ocean changes.
