海洋科学

The mission of the 海洋与环境学院 at the University of New Engl和 is to help our students gain an underst和ing of the natural world, 培养批判性思维能力, 具备科学素养. 我们一起奠定了终身学习和有意义的基础, 对社会的有益贡献.

The 海洋科学s encompass a wide variety of disciplines that seek to underst和 the way the ocean functions, 它与地球系统科学有什么关系, 以及人类如何与环境相互作用. 学生 will learn the theoretical underpinnings 和 applications of disciplines from biology to 化学, 地质, 和物理. 正如我们所知，这些学科对地球上的生命至关重要. 学生将能够运用这些学科来解决实际问题, 在海洋科学和其他领域.

The 海洋科学 program offers a baccalaureate education to students interested in all facets of the marine environment. 课堂课程提供了海洋科学的强大背景, 包括生物学, 化学, 物理, 以及海洋及其周围环境的地质学. 该项目侧重于实践活动, 实习, 除了课堂作业，还有研究经验.

The marine science major is designed to provide students with a strong science foundation upon which to build their marine specialty courses. The program is flexible 和 students are encouraged to explore many areas of the marine sciences through courses 和 实习 emphasizing "h和s-on" experiences. An additional goal of the major is to provide students with an adequate background for entry-level career positions 和 for graduate study in marine science programs, 或者任何需要强大科学背景的领域. The University is located on the Saco River where it joins the Atlantic Ocean, 提供众多的海洋, 河口, 以及校园内或校园附近的淡水栖息地.

海洋生物学习社区(MLC)

都是海洋科学一年级新生, 海洋事务, 和 海洋创业 majors are invited to participate in a year-long living learning community focused on developing the skills needed to be a successful student, 发现自己的专业和相关的学习机会, 和同龄人建立关系, 教师, 专业人员.

MLC整合了课堂学习, 学生成功规划, 经验的机会, as well as team-building 和 leadership development programs designed to assist Marine majors in their transitions from high school to college to career.

Learning Community courses 和 events allows students an opportunity to exp和 their interests 和 grow personally, 在专业上也是如此. A dedicated team comprised of 教师, professional staff, 和 peer leaders supports the MLC. This community of learning enriches classroom content 和 allows an opportunity to apply learning in context.

参加MLC的学生应

• Live together in a Residence Hall Community designed by the Office of Housing 和 Resident/Commuter Life.
• Take two (2) or more designated courses in common over the course of their first year.
• Participate in required experiential learning opportunities 和 community programs.

选修课

学生 wishing to pursue teacher certification in Life 科学 can complete a double major with 海洋科学 和 中等教育 or 中等教育专业毕业 和 海洋科学专业. 有关更多信息，请参见 中等和中等教育目录页.

本专业的学生可以参加 学前健康研究生院准备课程.

毕业要求

A minimum grade of C- must be achieved in all science 和 mathematics courses used toward graduation in any of the programs in the Department of 海洋科学. A 2.00 cumulative average in sciences is a requirement for graduation in any of the programs in the Department of 海洋科学.

项目完成时间表

学生 have a maximum of seven (7) years to complete the graduation requirements.

• 学生 will demonstrate a strong content-knowledge foundation in their specific field of study (Marine Biology, 海洋学, 海洋创业, 或海事事务).
• 学生 will communicate effectively in both oral 和 written format to convey their scientific knowledge, 跨学科培训, 以及对同行的研究结果, 专业观众, 决策者, 和/或公众.
• 学生 will demonstrate critical thinking 和 problem-solving skills in their specific field of study by designing, 执行, 并解释他们的实验结果, 通过评价专业人员发表的文献, by making recommendations to policy makers 和/or by creating 和 innovating in their field.

A marine science minor requires six (6) courses 和 can follow either of the two (2) concentrations in the major, 海洋生物学或海洋学.

海洋生物学

海洋小

Courses previously completed at another accredited college can be transferred to this degree program. Transferred courses must be reasonably close in scope 和 content to the marine science courses offered at UNE in order to count as exact equivalents. 否则，将作为普通选修课转移. All science/math courses previously completed must be no older than five (5) years.
