Overview

Key Features

The Marine Studies at Jacksonville University emphasizes individualized pathways of study for graduates to have the best possible preparation based on their interests, backgrounds, and abilities. This program can be completed online, in-person, or through hybrid instruction.

This program is designed to be flexible to meet the needs of the student; this program can be completed fully online, in-person, or through hybrid instruction either part-time or full-time.

MS in Marine Studies students must complete a 6-hour credit capstone sequence, which can be completed online, with an original capstone research project in their final year of study under the guidance of a faculty advisor. A written comprehensive examination must be taken at the completion of all degree coursework.

All graduate students will successfully complete 30 semester hours with a grade of "B" (3.0) or better in each course. Six semester hours of marine science-related graduate work can be transferred from another regionally accredited institution and applied to the MS in MST program at JU. However, no transferred courses may count towards the four core courses required for the program.

In addition to the 12 semester hours of core courses and the six semester hours of the capstone sequence, students will take 12 semester hours of elective graduate courses. These elective courses will vary by semester but may include:

Ocean & Coastal Observation Systems
Contemporary Issues in Marine Science
Climate Science
Experimental Design/Biostatistics
and more
