Ocean & Coastal Resource Management Concentration
This concentration combines the traditional fields of marine science, policy, and law with courses focused on the economic and management challenges posed by increased coastal development, demand for ocean resources, and the threats from climate change.
Students enrolled in the International Environmental Policy (IEP) program* will have the "Ocean & Coastal Resource Management" concentration recorded on their official transcripts by completing the following courses, in addition to their degree requirements:
- Marine Science and Policy (4 credits)
- International Marine Law (4 credits)
- Ocean and Coastal Economics (4 credits)
- Sustainable Coastal Management (4 credits)
The coursework provides rigorous qualitative and quantitative skills-building that is interdisciplinary, current, and practical. Combined with the other professional development opportunities provided by the CBE, students will be well-positioned for leadership roles in the marine fields immediately upon graduation.
*IEP students completing this concentration automatically meet the 8-credit track requirements. Students enrolled at other institutions in the COS MARINE consortium may also be eligible for this 16-credit course of study. Please contact the Director of the CBE for more information.
