Graduate Schools
This section will be greatly expanded in the near future, but let's start with a school close to home.
Marine Estuarine Environmental Sciences (MEES)
MEES Graduate Program
0105 Cole Student Activities Bldg.
University of Maryland
College Park, MD 20742
The MEES graduate program offers master of science and doctoral degrees covering restoration ecology, aquaculture, fisheries management, oceanography, marine biotechnology, toxicology, environmental chemistry, remote sensing, and landscape ecology.
The MEES Program is interdisciplinary; its faculty consists of members from numerous units within the University System of Maryland (USM). In most cases, students within the MEES Program work in the laboratory of their research advisor in the department or unit to which the advisor belongs. This may be a department of the Baltimore City or Baltimore County Campuses, the College Park Campus, the Eastern Shore Campus, one of the biotechnology centers of the Maryland Biotechnology Institute (MBI), or at laboratories of the University of MD Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) - the Horn Point Laboratory, the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, or the Appalachian Laboratory.
The interests of faculty and students within the MEES Program have led to six formally defined Areas of Specialization (AOSs), from which a student may choose. The AOSs are: Ecology, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Environmental Science, Fisheries Science and Oceanography.
