沿海和海洋科学理学学士

沿海与海洋科学专业在分子科学到生态系统的各个组织层次上都结合了严格的生物学基础原理，在海岸科学，海洋科学，生态学，保护生物学，环境修复以及生物学的相关领域具有重要的课程科学。通过课程实地考察，独立研究项目以及与外部合作伙伴组织的实习，该课程为学生提供了现实生活中的机会。专业人士为沿海/海洋/生态研究和环境管理方面的众多工作机会做好了充分的准备。此外，该课程的学生为在众多研究生课程中继续学习做好了充分的准备。
As a Coastal & Marine Science major at Sacred Heart, you will study and conduct research as part of a team and become an integral partner in finding solutions to our world's ever-changing environmental challenges.<br>Coastal ecosystems are at the interface between marine and terrestrial habitats and are exposed to a wide variety of human and natural stressors. Climate change has caused novel challenges for coastal and marine habitats that are already stressed from human development, pollution, and over-harvest of natural resources. <br><br>The Coastal and Marine Science (CMS) major is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program with a broad science curriculum. The program emphasizes marine and estuarine sciences with hands-on courses that span ecological & environmental science as a whole, irrespective of habitat. The interests of biology students are diverse, but at the undergraduate level, students generally center their studies on biological interactions occurring in an ever-changing environment. Students are encouraged to broaden their perspectives by spending a semester on the SHU campus in Dingle, Ireland.
