Welcome to Marine Science
The Department of Marine Science at Coastal Carolina University supports both undergraduate and graduate programs in marine science. The two undergraduate Bachelor of Science degrees in Marine Science and Marine Coastal Environmental Science are complemented by the two graduate programs: the M.S. in Coastal Marine and Wetland Studies and the Ph.D. in Marine Science: Coastal and Marine Systems Science. The strength of our degrees flows from the unique experiences offered by our research-active faculty who are committed to teaching and providing individual attention, making for superior experiential opportunities and professional training. Our coastal location offers easy access to a wide range of estuarine, nearshore, and oceanic environments, providing a wide range of habitats, and enabling a focus on field activities.
