PhD in Marine Science and Technology

The intercampus marine science (IMS) graduate program is fundamentally grounded in a broad, integrated approach to the study of marine sciences and related technologies. Offered at UMass Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth, and Lowell, this degree helps you build a foundation in the natural and social sciences related to marine and coastal systems to prepare you for interdisciplinary studies and research focusing on an area of concentration. Upon graduation, you’ll be ready for a career in academia as a researcher and scholar who will contribute the application of your education to marine sciences, marine resource management, and marine economic development, or in the governmental or private sectors.
