Overview

The Marine Science programme at Coastal Carolina University is an interdisciplinary field where students receive training in marine biology, marine chemistry, marine geology, and physical oceanography.

Upon completion of the 300-level courses in each of these four subdisciplines, students are encouraged to select an area of emphasis that may include: marine biology, coastal geology, marine/environmental chemistry, or ocean/atmosphere dynamics.

The Student Experience

Coastal Carolina University (CCU) has the largest Department of Marine Science on the U.S. east coast.

Department facilities include classroom/laboratory buildings, computer labs, and research vessels.

The University owns part of Waties Island, a pristine barrier island that is used for course activities and student research.

Through classes and collaborative research, students may also have access to facilities in the other six Gupta College of Science Departments as well as the Burroughs & Chapin Center for Marine and Wetland Studies where students and faculty work on a wide range of projects including coastal geology and watershed/environmental quality.
