Department of Marine Sciences
Alabama's coastline is small, but the drainage system into Mobile Bay provides nutrients to one of the nation's richest estuarine environments and adjacent Gulf of Mexico waters. As a result, south Alabama is heavily dependent on a productive well managed coastal region for its continued economic growth and prosperity. The University of South Alabama, cognizant of this natural asset, has developed a graduate program in the marine sciences that is both applied and theoretical. The University offers the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in marine sciences with specializations in biological, chemical, and geological disciplines. The program is designed to provide a formal course of training and advanced research in the marine sciences that produces significant, original contributions to the field.
