To comprehend life on our planet, one must grasp the significance of the ocean. Over two-thirds of Earth's surface is covered by ocean waters, which host the majority of living organisms and influence many fundamental planetary processes. In UD's marine science program, students explore marine biology, oceanography, geology, and related disciplines alongside policy and environmental management studies. This comprehensive education equips graduates with the knowledge to address critical environmental issues like climate change, ocean acidification, sustainable fisheries, habitat protection, and marine pollution. The program culminates with a specialization in either marine biology or oceanography, providing focused expertise for career advancement or continued academic pursuits.
