Graduate Students

• Coastal & Ocean Engineering Program is a comprehensive curriculum of graduate studies and research leading to the degrees of Master of Science (MS), Master of Ocean Engineering (MOcE), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
• The Cooperative Institute for Marine Resources Studies (CIMRS) fosters collaborative research between NOAA and OSU in fisheries, ecosystem studies, aquaculture, oceanography, and marine-resource technology. CIMRS facilitates student interships, assistantships, and workshops.
• The Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. The offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with majors in fisheries. The Department participates in the Master of Agriculture programs in Aquaculture and the Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Natural Resource Management.
• The Department of Geosciences offers graduate studies leading to M.S., M.A., and Ph.D. Degrees in both Geography and Geology. The Geography Program includes marine geographic information systems (GIS), acoustic remote sensing, and ocean data management. The Geology Program includes the areas of Petrology, Geomorphology, Hydrology and Paleoclimatology.
• IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship) Program focuses on life below the Earths surface, "The Subsurface Biosphere." This program is designed for graduate students who are interested in combining the disciplines of Engineering, Oceanography, Microbiology, Chemistry, Geology, and Agriculture.
• Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences The College of Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) offers degrees in interdisciplinary Marine Resource Management as well as Biological Oceanography, Chemical Oceanography, Marine Geology and Geophysics, Physical Oceanography, and Atmospheric Sciences.
• Oregon Sea Grant offers graduate fellowships and internships as funding is available.
• Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) offers students a unique opportunity to obtain cross-disciplinary training in the marine sciences and ecology. The four universities participating in PISCO provide educational programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels under the guidance of leading scientists from diverse fields.
• Zoology. The Department of Zoology has strong programs of graduate study in behavioral ecology, marine biology and ecology, evolutionary biology, physiology, behavioral endocrinology, population biology, genetics, neurobiology, chemical ecology, cell and developmental biology and comparative immunology.
