Four Year Course Plan II
The following is a possible sequence of courses for the Oceanography B. Sc. degree for a physical science oriented STEM student, starting in freshman year.
There is flexibility in the balance of the introductory science/math courses and electives between Year 1 and Year 2 - just one possible sequence is shown below. Similarly, the way the upper division electives are scheduled are representative only. However, Oceanography courses tend to occur only once per year, so attention to their scheduling is important.
