This research-based program emphasizes a hands-on approach to learning through the completion of an original thesis project under the mentorship of an experienced marine science researcher. Individualized programs of study ensure that each student has the best possible preparation based on their interests, background and abilities. Marine science faculty and researchers in the College of Natural Sciences and the Oceanic Institute currently work in many fields critical to the understanding and sustainable use of marine resources and systems including aquaculture, marine biogeochemistry, marine natural product chemistry, benthic ecology, spatial ecology, coral reef ecology, inorganic carbon cycle dynamics, phycology, environmental microbiology, toxicology, marine mammal physiology, and ichthyology. The program is designed to be completed in two years for full-time graduate students. In the first year students take a core course sequence and complete a proposal for their thesis research topic. Thesis research is conducted through the next year, culminating in oral and written presentation of a thesis. Full-time students will take the equivalent of three classes per semester. Research facilities include state-of-the-art laboratories at the Windward Oahu Hawaii Loa campus and the Oceanic Institute; classes are held at both locations.     Accreditation Information: Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC); member of many nationally recognized groups including the National League of Nursing, and the Executive MBA Council  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree: 12-24 Months    Previous Degrees Bachelors Degree  Pre-Requisite Courses n/a  International Student Requirements English proficiency details: A score of 80 overall and at least 25 in writing for iBT, A score of 213 overall and at least 5 in TWE for cBT, A score of 550 overall and at least 5 in TWE for pBT, and a score of 6 overall and at least 6.5 in writing for IELTS.  Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Recommended  Volunteer Experience Recommended  Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements Letters of Recommendation    Cost Per Credit Hour: $ 930.00  Tuition: 22320  Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
