1. MIT(麻省理工):理工科之高名校,在工程学院下面开设了Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences,该专业提供了Program in Atmospheres, Oceans, and Climate (PAOC),在这个项目中申请人可以选择和海洋学相关的学科是Physical Oceanography和Chemical Oceanography,这2个研究方向更偏向于理论层面研究。
是为数不多的几个开设有海洋学专业的学校,在Department of Oceanography 开设的有M.S. in Oceanography和PhD in Oceanography,算是给有志于海洋学研究的有志青年提供了良好的学科支持。学校录取标准也不高,一般来说GPA3.0,TOEFL90,GRE310都有被录取的可能。
3. University of Delaware(德拉维尔大学):
学校开设了The College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment (CEOE),这个系里对海洋方面的专业设置比较健全,按学校网站的说法是:CEOE offers the following graduate degree programs: Master's degrees in Geography, Geology, Marine Policy, Marine Studies, Ocean Engineering, and Oceanography; a non-thesis Master of Marine Management (M.M.M.) degree; and PhD degrees in Geography Geology, Marine Studies, Oceanography, and Ocean Engineering.学校对奖学金也是有机会提供的,所以,Delaware是海洋学不错的选择。
