The oceanography is an interdisciplinary by nature and has connections to biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, earth sciences and environmental system science. Undergraduates in the Oceanography degree program will develop an understanding of the fundamentals of science governing the ocean. The degree in oceanography is an appropriate start for a broad range of career and graduate school opportunities including research, environmental management and consulting, ocean sciences, industrial institutions, elementary or secondary education, environmental policy and law. The students engage in a wide range of topics of scientific interest and increasing social concern including ocean waves, tides, ocean circulation, oceanic eddies, natural climate variability including global warming, ocean acidification and ocean-based disasters. The course equipped with tools to address problems through basic knowledge of fluid dynamics and principles relevant to the ocean and atmospheric sciences. The curriculum includes modern approaches to data collection in the ocean and atmosphere, and the analysis of the big data sets. Exploration and exploitation of resources and their sustainability, environmental impacts, climate change, increased utilization of living and non-living resources of the oceans and challenges are explained. Harnessing renewable ocean energy from waves, tides, currents including ocean thermal energy are also important alternative sources with less environmental impacts are discussed.
