Due to the importance of coastal communities to many civilizations, coastal areas also hold a wealth of historical and archeological sites. However, coastal areas can also include highly productive, but extremely vulnerable, ecosystems. Furthermore, coastal settlements are vulnerable to sea-level rise and intense coastal storms. Consequently, managing the human use of the coastal margin requires an interdisciplinary approach that has a solid foundation in natural science, social science, and policy. Students who are interested in coastal communities have found positions in federal and state coastal management programs, local government, nonprofit organizations, and private consulting firms.<\/p>\n<div><section class=\"cl-wrapper cl-boxout-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-boxout  \"><h1>Courses offered<\/h1><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"cl-tiles halves\">\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>MAF 100 Human Use and
