Texas A&M University at Galveston
The Degree of Master of Marine Resources Management
Texas A&M University at Galveston offers the Master of Marine Resources Management (MARM) degree program, which will provide graduate students with a broad understanding of issues involving marine resources management and policy. This is a master's degree offered by Texas A&M University. The need for this type of multifaceted marine resources management degree has never been stronger as state and federal agencies such as the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Environmental Protection Agency and similar groups face natural resources management challenges daily. Personnel from these organizations have identified the need for a degree which focuses on national and international ocean resource law and policy; coastal zone management; physical and geochemical marine resources management strategies; and fisheries management. This degree program reflects an increasing need to view marine natural resources management and policy development from both an ecological and policy perspective.
The degree is tailored toward careers with industry and agencies and may be a degree comparable to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) as an alternative terminal degree. In addition, the degree program will address the needs of public school science teachers wishing to obtain a degree outside the field of education.
