Marine Science and Oceanography encompasses all the sciences, specifically studying the Earth's oceans and seas. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. With its vast expanse and great depths, the largest and most ancient of ecosystems, the planet's oceans, are still little understood.
The two year program is designed to give the students a solid educational background to transfer to one of the many marine science/oceanography schools throughout the world. Students successfully completing the program may select to transfer directly to sister universities through in-place articulation agreements. Former Colorado Northwestern students have continued their schooling at University of Hawaii Manoa and University of Hawaii Hilo, and Hawaii Pacific University.
