海洋学的这门课程为学生提供了海洋气候（OC）的跨学科教育和培训。所有学生都将获得处理，评估和分析大型数据集的技能。海洋学学士学位课程：1）为学生提供对海洋及其影响过程的跨学科理解，以用于海洋科学或其他相关领域的职业； 2）为学生提供检索，评估和分析大型海洋学的技能长期海洋学研究和观测系统生成的数据集； 3）强调批判性思维和解决问题的能力。鼓励计划就读研究生的学生也要完成STEM领域的辅修课程。许多毕业生将在各个领域找到工作，包括海洋技术支持，能源和运输业，保险业，减灾，海洋运营，国土安全，溢油应急等。
The BS in Oceanography curriculum: 1) Provides students with an interdisciplinary understanding of the oceans and the processes affecting them for use in careers in marine science or other related fields, 2) Provides students with the skills to retrieve, evaluate, and analyze large oceanographic datasets such as those generated from long term oceanographic studies and observing systems, and 3) Emphasizes critical thinking and problem solving skills.<br><br>The BS in Oceanography has four themes: Ocean Observing Science and Technology (OOST), Ocean Climate (OC), Marine Ecosystems Processes (MEP) and Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry (MCG). All four themes share common requirements but allow for specialization depending on a student's interest. The OOST theme provides more emphasis in statistics and ocean observing systems, all students will gain skill in handling, evaluating and analyzing large datasets. The OC theme provides more emphasis in advanced math skills that can be applied to understanding ocean climate interactions, all students will gain skill in handling, evaluating and analyzing large datasets. The MEP theme provides more emphasis in biological and ecological processes, all students will gain skill in understanding and applying a biological framework to understanding the ocean. The MCG theme provides more emphasis on marine chemistry and geochemistry, all students will gain skill in understanding and applying a chemical and geochemical framework to understanding the ocean.
