Degree Programs and Curriculum
Overview
GRADUATE DEGREES
The USF College of Marine Science (CMS) offers Master’s and PhD degrees and is committed to providing one of the highest quality graduate programs in the country. The following concentrations are offered in both degree programs:
- Biological Oceanography
- Physical Oceanography
- Chemical Oceanography
- Geological Oceanography, and
- Marine Resource Assessment
The fundamental concepts of Oceanography have been divided into four groups that, taken together, apply to or cover all of the major processes within the oceans. Not surprisingly, the four groups are aligned with four major academic sciences: physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. The concentration in Marine Resource Assessment focuses on biology and aspects of the other three sciences.
