Students in the advanced degree programs of the School of Marine Science are assigned to a department based on their research interests and the affiliation of their faculty advisor. Interdisciplinary studies are encouraged and students may be co-advised by faculty across or within departments. Graduate studies are offered in many sub-disciplines of marine science within the four departments of VIMS, as described below. Although students enrolled in the graduate program “reside” in departments, most of the required courses and degree requirements are determined by the Faculty of the School of Marine Science. Individual departments and a student’s advisory committee may specify additional coursework requirements over those stipulated as general degree requirements. |
