Eager to harness technology for ocean exploration and discovery?
At UC San Diego, the master's and doctoral graduate programs in Applied Ocean Science (AOS) offer a unique, multidisciplinary approach to understanding and exploring the ocean. Focused on the application of advanced technology, AOS equips students with the tools to address critical scientific challenges in ocean exploration and observation.
BROAD HORIZONS IN RESEARCH
Students pursuing a Ph.D. or M.S. degree in AOS engage in cutting-edge research spanning marine acoustics, optics, electromagnetics, geophysics, ecology, sediment transport, coastal processes, physical oceanography, and air-sea interaction. The core philosophy emphasizes solving complex scientific problems through innovative technology development.
COLLABORATION ACROSS THREE DEPARTMENTS
UC San Diego's AOS expertise extends beyond a single program. Students can pursue Applied Ocean Science through the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, or the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. These interconnected programs provide access to diverse faculty, courses, and research facilities across all three departments—fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and expanding research possibilities.
Join us and dive into the intersection of technology and science—where innovation meets the ocean.
