Graduate Certification Programs

Ocean Observing Systems Certificate Program is offered through the Department of Oceanography. Ocean Observing is an important new direction in oceanographic research that requires specially trained individuals in ocean data collection, data management, and production and distribution of needed products and services. The program provides training for in situ ocean observations, remote sensing technologies, data analysis and display, including geographic information systems (GIS), analytical techniques and modeling. The certificate targets non-thesis graduate students who would like to add an Ocean Observing credential to their portfolio as a means of enhancing their professional prospects.

The certificate program requires a minimum of 24 hours of study from a selected curriculum and enrollment in a graduate program. For detailed information, please contact a graduate advisor in the Department of Oceanography.
