Oceanography, also called oceanology or marine
science, is the branch of Earth Sciences that studies
the Earth's oceans and seas. Oceanographers study a wide
range of topics, including marine organisms and
ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and
geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the
geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical
substances and physical properties within the ocean and
across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect
multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to
further knowledge of the world ocean and understanding
of processes within it: biology, chemistry, geology,
meteorology, and physics.

Classes offered this quarter
Designed to provide students with a broad liberal
arts background of study during their first and second
years of college with an emphasis on
Oceanography. The state two-year and four-year
schools developed transfer agreements that allow
students from a community college to transfer at least
90 credits (60 semester credits) to a four-year college
or university. The degrees satisfy some or all general
requirements for a bachelor's degree.
