Ringkasan program

The Master of Marine Affairs (M.M.A.) degree is granted by the School of Marine Affairs, an academic and research unit of the College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences. The M.M.A. degree program is a two-year graduate course of studies requiring the completion of 59 quarter credits. The M.M.A. is designed to familiarize students with a diversity of conceptual and methodological approaches and substantive areas in Marine Affairs. The non-thesis track is intended for students who are mid-career or who would gain academically and/or professionally from a course of study other than the intensive research and writing experience required in a thesis. Non-thesis track students prepare a degree project that could take a variety of forms, including a place – based problem solving exercise, a specific policy proposal, or other practical exercise. Students who wish to pursue the non-thesis track must petition the GPC no later than the end of the eighth week of winter quarter of their first year of study. The petition must make a compelling case for the non-thesis track and present an explicit plan for courses, skills development or other educational experience which will lead to a successful degree project. Non-thesis track students must have an SMA faculty advisor who concurs in the petition for non-thesis study. Non-thesis track students must fulfill all course requirements of the SMA curriculum and must identify ten additional credits of study that substitute for thesis credits and are acceptable to the faculty advisor.. A degree project could build upon relevant work experience, internship or other experiential learning. A degree project report will be developed and presented, individually or as part of a student group, during SMA 550B [Marine Affairs Seminar B].
