Marine Science and Ocean Engineering

Marine policy (also referred to as coastal or ocean policy) is a field of study and practice focused on public policy and governance as it relates to marine, ocean, and coastal resources. 

Effective management of human activities in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas is critical to our future, which includes the setting of public policy as it relates to these systems. Combine this Marine Policy minor with a major such as ocean engineering, biology, wildlife conservation, environmental conservation and sustainability, political science, or others to enhance your career opportunities or prepare for graduate study in science, management, law, or policy.
