MS in Marine Sciences & Technology

University of Massachusetts - Lowell

The Marine Sciences and Technology Master's Program, offered by the School of Marine Sciences (SMS), requires a minimum of 30 credit hours with the thesis option and 33 credit hours with the non-thesis option. Students are required to take three core courses (9 credits) and choose additional courses (15 credit minimum for thesis option, 22 credit minimum for non-thesis option) appropriate to a selected area of concentration. Attendance at a weekly seminar series is required (1 credit each for two semesters), and each student must present at least one seminar in their third or fourth semester. Fulltime MS students normally complete their degree requirements in four semesters. Part-time MS students are encouraged to take two courses per semester.
