专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Master of Marine Affairs (MMA) is an internationally recognized master’s degree for those who want to work in marine policy and administration. This degree is focused on the intersection of public policy and natural and social sciences, so you have the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle the complicated problems in this field and succeed.

Our students bring to the program a wide variety of educational and professional backgrounds, and are from all around the country and world. This diversity of perspectives, interests, knowledge, and experiences creates a melting-pot environment that reflects the many different components of marine and environmental affairs as a field.

SMEA offers a two-year, in-residence graduate program that leads to the Master of Marine Affairs degree. The field is a multi-disciplinary field with strong traditions in both practice and scholarship, and is increasingly integrative in recognition of the fact that viewing human society and institutions as parts of ecosystems seems necessary in order to better understand and respond to environmental problems.

Curriculum Options

SMEA has a two track curriculum to serve students preparing for careers as practitioners, as well as those who are focused on academic or research-oriented careers.

The Professional track offers two options to better meet the needs of students looking to go directly into the workforce following the completion of their degree. The capstone option will allow practice-oriented students to obtain vital real-world experience through applied learning, which will be performed by small groups in service to a real-world client. The alternative, course-only option, is geared towards students who seek to gain specific skills through additional coursework, which are usually put to immediate use post-graduation in a currently held or previously held, SMEA-relevant position.

The Thesis track will allow research-oriented students to develop and hone research skills appropriate for academic careers.

A Human-Dimensions Focused Curriculum for Both Tracks: The human-dimensions focus of the SMEA MMA curriculum is embedded in both tracks. This curriculum is designed to familiarize students with a diversity of conceptual and methodological approaches and substantive areas in the field of marine and environmental affairs. The field focuses on the connections between marine and terrestrial environments and the surrounding communities. To encompass such a broad field, the School utilizes a framework called “Human Dimensions of Global Change in the Marine Environment” (HDGCME).

Core and Elective Classes

The curriculum can be divided into two categories: Core and Elective classes.

The Core is comprised of three broad areas:

• The Introductory Sequence which addresses SMEA’s HDGCME theme;
• Subject Areas such as marine science, marine law, economics, etc.; and
• Analytic Skills including quantitative analysis, policy analysis, etc.
