Overview

Key Features

As a qualified UNE undergraduate, this track enables you to obtain the M.S. degree with the same curriculum requirements as the traditional M.S. in Marine Sciences program through an expedited process that begins during your senior year of undergraduate work.

You'll complete much of your master's coursework during your fourth year, while also working on your thesis project. Your fifth year will be spent finishing your research and writing your thesis.

Unlike other marine programs at universities with satellite campuses, our five-year combined degree program in Marine Sciences on the scenic shores of coastal Maine provides an on-campus gateway to a 36,000-square-mile living laboratory in the Gulf of Maine where you can learn, explore, and conduct research.

Through coursework, hands-on field work, global experience, research, and internship opportunities at a wide range of institutions, including the New England Aquarium, NOAA, and Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, you will join the ranks of other graduates who have gone on to fulfilling careers as marine biology or oceanography researchers, natural resource managers, fisheries observers, conservation advocates, aquatic animal caretakers, environmental educators, commercial divers, and many other exciting professions.
