Project aboard

In this 3-quarter long series of courses (OCEAN 443, 444 and 445), students are closely mentored by a faculty team to design, execute and communicate an original research project on a topic of their own choosing. This option usually included senior cruise on our research vessel, the R/V Thompson somewhere in the world's ocean. The Bachelor's of Science requires these courses. The Bachelor's of Arts does not.
