DOROTHY H. AND LEWIS ROSENSTIEL
SCHOOL OF MARINE AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE
The ocean is acquiring an ever-increasing significance as an avenue of worldwide commerce and communication and as a source of food, energy, minerals and fuels. As nations and private concerns become more involved in the ocean, the need increases for qualified professionals to deal with the commercial and legal complexities of marine affairs. In order to meet this need, the Rosenstiel School offers a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Marine Affairs combined with a minor in Anthropology, General Business, Economics, Geography, Political Science, or Political Science/General Business. Students in the School of Communication may include Marine Affairs as their required second major. This program is designed for students who wish to prepare themselves for graduate studies and careers in ocean related areas of business, policy, management, law, and communication.
In addition to those courses that satisfy General Education Requirements, the required courses for the undergraduate major in Marine Affairs are:
• Biology 150, 160
• Chemistry 111, 112,
• Marine Science 111, 215, 230, 313 or 314, 491 and seven credits of approved electives in marine affairs.

Marine Affairs courses offered through the graduate Marine Affairs and Policy division at the Rosenstiel School may be taken by upperclass students with permission.
