Academic Programs
Undergraduate Programs
- BS in Ocean Engineering (BSOE): Ocean engineering is a multidisciplinary field aimed at solving engineering problems associated with working in the ocean environment and wisely exploring and harnessing the ocean's resources. Ocean engineers design, build, operate and maintain ships, offshore structures and a variety of ocean technologies including aircraft carriers, submarines, sailboats, tankers, tugboats, yachts, oil rigs, underwater robots and acoustic sonar.
- Joint BS/MS Degree Program in Ocean Engineering: In this program, students can earn their master's degree in one year after receiving their bachelor's degree; take graduate courses in their senior year for both the bachelor's and master's degrees; and can be qualified for a dean's assistantship for the duration of their master's degree program.
Graduate Programs
- MS in Ocean Engineering (MSOE) - Thesis Option or Non-Thesis Option or Non-Thesis Option with a Minor in Business: The Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering offers an extensive Master of Science degree program in Ocean Engineering with the aim of preparing individuals for engineering challenges to working in the ocean environment. Specialization in specific Ocean Engineering programs is offered through in-depth studies in the areas of Acoustics, Signal processing, Materials and Corrosion, Marine structures, Marine Hydrodynamics and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles.
- Marine Engineering Management Graduate Certificate: This program is being revised. No applications are currently being accepted.
- Offshore Engineering Graduate Certificate (Online): This online certificate program requires satisfactory completion of four of six 3-credit courses, all of which are offered online.
- Doctor of Philosophy with Major in Ocean Engineering: The degree of Doctor of Philosophy with major in Ocean Engineering is conferred on a candidate by the University upon completion of comprehensive training and in recognition of the candidate´s ability to independently and efficiently pursue research in ocean engineering. The requirements for the degree include the performance of original research, the preparation of a dissertation describing this research, and systematic advanced studies in engineering and the underlying sciences. There is also a BS to PhD Direct Path Program available for eligible students.
