Academics
In the fall of 2012 the Center for the Blue Economy (CBE) will launch a 16-credit concentration in “Ocean and Coastal Resource Management” for master's students in the Monterey Institute's International Environmental Policy (IEP) program.
Current Students
Our students will have not only the skills to correct market failures that threaten the world’s oceans and coasts, but also the vision to create market opportunities for the sustainable use of our coastal and marine resources.
Throughout the year, students will gain real-world experience in marine policy and management issues both inside and outside of the classroom. They will also be eligible through the Center for summer fellowships and local internships at top marine organizations (e.g. Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Oceana, Conservation International (CI), International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), WildAid, and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)) to position themselves for leadership roles immediately upon graduation.
Students will also have access to classes, workshops, and seminars in the greater Monterey Bay area offered by the Center for Ocean Solutions (COS) MARINE consortium.
Alumni
Our graduates are routinely awarded prestigious Sea Grant Fellowships, and dozens of our alumni have risen to leadership positions in the marine field, both domestically and abroad. Read more about where IEP alumni are currently employed.
