Students are also well prepared to pursue graduate and professional programs in environmental management, public administration, community planning, marine affairs, and related fields.
This major establishes a strong background for careers in the public or private sectors in a wide variety of marine-related fields.
Typical areas of employment include positions in government agencies (federal, state, and local) concerned with coastal zone, environmental protection, or fisheries management, and in marine transportation.
In the private sector, graduates find positions in environmental consulting firms, marine insurance, public-interest non-governmental organizations, marinas, ports, and companies involved in shipping.
