Certificate Program

Ocean Policy

The wise use and careful stewardship of the ocean require people with multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary advanced education in the natural and social sciences. This program offered by the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, in collaboration with several other colleges and schools, is designed for classified graduate students, law students, and community professional practitioners who wish to complement their existing degree or curriculum. An advisory committee assists each student in custom-designing a 21-credit (minimum) program that draws on marine-related courses in law, geography, agricultural and resource economics, oceanography, costal management, civil and ocean and resources engineering, geology and geophysics, meteorology, botany and zoology, and includes an interdisciplinary seminar and two practica (one each in natural science and social science). For further information and applications, contact the Department of Oceanography, tel (808) 956-7633; e-mail: ocean@soest.hawaii.edu.
