What was the most memorable–or the most influential–course taken as a Marine Affairs student?
Coming from a background in Physics and Physical Oceanography, I enjoyed the interdisciplinary nature of the Marine Affairs PhD. The freedom to take courses across disciplines from Computer Science, to Landscape Architecture, Economics, and Coastal and Ocean Law gave me the ability to round out my education and better bridge the gap between science and real-world practice.
