IGPMS提供了广泛的跨学科培训，从而获得了理学硕士和哲学博士学位。海洋科学涵盖了许多学科，包括生物学，地质学，化学，物理学和工程学。我们认识到现代海洋科学的内在交叉学科性质，以及通过一个研究生计划来进行跨学科的研究生水平培训的必要性，该计划汇集了来自八个不同部门的广泛的海洋学院。学生还将建立IGPMS中的深层次生物学，化学和物理海洋学，海洋光学和遥感，海洋地质和地球物理学，海洋生物学，古海洋学，海洋工程和海洋政策。
The Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Marine Science (IGPMS) provides broad interdisciplinary training leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Marine science encompasses many disciplines including biology, geology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. We recognize the intrinsic interdisciplinary nature of modern marine science and the necessity for cross-disciplinary graduate-level training through a graduate program that brings together a broad range of marine faculty from eight different departments. Students also build depth through specialization: biological, chemical, and physical oceanography, marine optics and remote sensing, marine geology and geophysics, marine biology, paleoceanography, ocean engineering, and marine policy can all be pursued by students in IGPMS.
