It has grown from its modest beginnings in a boathouse to become one of the nation’s leading institutions for oceanographic and atmospheric research and education. The School’s basic and applied research interests have grown to encompass virtually all of the marine-related sciences in all oceans: marine and atmospheric chemistry, marine geology and geophysics, ocean acoustics, ocean engineering, applied marine physics, physical oceanography, satellite oceanography, meteorology, marine biology and fisheries, biochemistry, marine biomedicine, marine biotechnology, and marine affairs and management. The Rosenstiel School is now one of the five largest oceanographic facilities in the United States and boasts one of the broadest research agendas in the global oceanographic community. Offering graduate studies leading to the Master of Science, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees, the School offers curricula in applied marine physics, marine affairs and policy, marine and atmospheric chemistry, marine biology and fisheries, marine geology and geophysics, and meteorology and physical oceanography. The School also offers undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in Marine and Atmospheric Science degree and the Bachelor of Arts in Marine Affairs.     Accreditation Information: The University of Miami is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Minimum = equivalent of a bachelors degree  Pre-Requisite Courses see the RSMAS Bulletin at http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/grad-studies  International Student Requirements TOEFL, funding  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: 1000 GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   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: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
