Additional Information

Courses in the various branches of oceanography are listed separately under the headings Earth and Planetary Sciences, Biology, and Engineering Sciences in this catalog. Further opportunities for study in oceanography exist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory. Interested students are invited to contact members of the Committee on Oceanography for additional advice. The committee encourages undergraduate and graduate students to pursue sea-going and other oceanography-related research and study opportunities, including during the summer, at a variety of possible institutions in the US and abroad. Interested students are encouraged to write the committee chair for specific advice on this and to apply for funding in order to pursue such oceanography-related projects, field work, or study opportunities.
