BSc (120 credit hour) Major in Ocean Sciences
The 120 credit hour Major is suited to students who want to focus on Ocean Sciences, but wish to have a program that is somewhat less constrained than the Honours program. Ocean Science Majors complete a minimum of 42 credit hours in OCEA courses. Research and other experiential learning opportunities are available through laboratories, special topics and experiential courses.
