MSCI 697 - Problems in Marine Science

Fall, Spring and Summer Credits: (1-4) Staff

This is the avenue through which supervised projects may be selected to suit the needs of the graduate student, including those wishing to perform an internship as part of the Curricular Practical Training Program. Projects are chosen in consultation with the student’s major professor and the instructor. Acceptable research outlines and project reports are required, and the amount of credit depends upon difficulty of course. Examples of projects offered in recent years include management issues in shellfish sanitation; groundwater nutrient processes; bacterioplankton methods and techniques; pesticide analysis in environmental samples; marine molecular population genetics; and law and policy relating to the introduction of non-indigenous plants. Subjects will be announced prior to registration and after approval by the Educational Policy Committee (EPC).
