Chemical oceanographers investigate the processes governing how elements and compounds are distributed across the atmosphere, oceans, coastal waters, and seafloor sediments.
Students pursuing any degree who hold at least a Bachelor of Science or Arts in a fundamental science can apply for the Master's program. Typically, applicants lacking a Master's in oceanography or a similar discipline are admitted to the Master's track. Both these candidates and those with relevant Master's degrees may also apply directly to the Ph.D. program. Acceptance into either the M.S. or Ph.D. program requires majority faculty approval and a faculty member's consent to serve as primary advisor. Ph.D. candidates must complete at least 18 semester hours in subjects related to their specialization, beyond the standard M.S. requirements. These additional courses will be selected collaboratively by the student, their advisor, and advisory committee. These stipulations apply equally to students entering with a related Master's degree and those holding an Oceanography M.S. Additionally, all candidates must complete 24 semester hours of dissertation work (OCE6980). Those pursuing a Ph.D. without first earning an M.S. must satisfy both the 33-semester-hour Master's requirement and all Ph.D. prerequisites. Florida State University M.S. graduates may reapply for the Ph.D. program with faculty majority approval. All Ph.D. students must maintain continuous enrollment of at least 24 credit hours per 12-month period.
