Arizona State University launched four new ocean-focused degree programs within the College of Global Futures — a Bachelor of Science in ocean futures, a Bachelor of Science in ocean futures with a concentration in coastal and marine sciences, an online Master of Science in coastal and marine science and management, and a PhD in ocean futures.
Students have access to multiple experiential learning opportunities at BIOS and our courses in coral reef ecology, marine invertebrate zoology and scientific diving methods have been integrated into ASU’s curriculum.
