Overview
Key facts
Upon completion of this Marine Ecosystems and Society program at University of Miami, a student earns the Juris Doctor degree from the School of Law and a Master of Professional Science in Marine Ecosystems and Society from RSMAS, ranked as one of the top five geoscience institutions in the United States.
The M.P.S. degree allows students to focus their course work in one of four areas:
- Aquaculture Track: Focus on the environmental, technological, social, economic, legal and political aspects of sustainable aquaculture.
- Coastal Zone Management Track: Gain exposure to the legal and governance frameworks associated with the sustainability of near-shore waters. These areas present unique challenges to resource managers in the shipping, tourism, development, fisheries, aquaculture and oil industry.
- Marine Conservation Track: Design a curriculum around personal career goals while focusing on innovative solutions to current marine ecosystem threats. This track combines science, law, economics, and policy to foster the conservation of marine ecosystems.
- Underwater Archeology: Focus on the management of underwater cultural heritage (MUCH). The MPS Underwater Archaeology track is primarily technical and introduces participants to the legal and governance frameworks in this increasingly important discipline.
