The department has established a new Master of Science in ocean engineering degree program offered exclusively in Galveston – highlighting the unique waterfront location and resources of the campus.
This non-thesis, 30-credit program provides students with a unique education and career preparation filled with hands-on experience, direct access to the coast, on-the-water field data collection adventures, industry collaboration, proximity to Houston and world-class resources.
Ideal for students and professionals with an undergraduate degree or equivalent international degree in any engineering field, the thorough curriculum covers a variety of ocean engineering topics and offers the opportunity to specialize in specific areas. This degree program is adaptable and versatile for the ever-growing fields of coastal and ocean engineering.
One of the highlights of the course is a ship cruise for handson learning through ocean engineering experiments and oceanographic field measurements.
“Ocean engineering is a multidisciplinary field evolving continually to meet the challenges arising from engineering in extreme coastal and ocean environments,” said department head Dr. Sharath Girimaji. “To keep up with this fast-paced field, we are offering a new M.S. program that can be designed to suit the needs of industry and the interests of the students.”
Interested students can enroll now. The required 30 credits can be taken in two main semesters (fall and spring) and an additional five-week Summer I session.
