Master of Science in Marine Resource Management

Marine Resource Management (MRM) is a science-based, interdisciplinary master's program based in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Astmospheric Science (CEOAS). The program provides students with the multidisciplinary training necessary to function confidently and effectively in professional resource management positions. Marine and coastal issues are technically and politically complex, involving many interests, perspectives and stakeholders. To deal effectively with these issues, marine resource managers need a broad-based background in both physical and social sciences. Graduates from the program are trained to bridge the gap between science and policy.

The program offers two tracks, professional and a thesis. Professional track students develop a project and defend a report on that work, based on either an internship or a research project. Thesis track students are expected to produce a more extensive and rigorous piece of original work and analysis, and must meet additional requirements set by the Graduate School and advisor.

Transcripts
OSU requires a transcript for all schools on the online application. Review can proceed with unofficial transcripts, but these must have the grading scale on the document, so no web-kiosk printouts or pdfs. If you are admitted, you will be required to submit official transcripts at that time, and the ones for a degree-conferred school or program must show the degree earned status and date.
