NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 209 
INTRODUCTION 
This catalog is a compilation of courses offered in the marine 
sciences at American colleges and universities. In addition to providing 
information to students, its purpose is to increase the exchange of infor- 
mation among the schools, and between them and employers of oceanographic 
manpower. 
The term "oceanography" is used in this publication in its broadest 
sense, meaning the application of science to the study of the sea. Courses 
described are not restricted to those designated ''oceanography" by the 
institutions offering them, but include all courses dealing with study of 
the marine environment. 
Only those schools which grant a degree specifically in the field 
of marine sciences are listed as granting degrees under the section entitled 
"Degrees Offered" under each school entry. However, nearly all the insti- 
tutions apply listed course work for credit towards an advanced degree. 
Some universities consider it most beneficial for a scientist to be trained 
to the doctorate level in one of the classical disciplines of science before 
he concentrates his attention entirely upon the marine environment. The 
omission in this catalog of degrees in fields other than specifically marine 
science does not in any way imply that the Interagency Committee on Ocean- 
ography considers the system of training which culminates in a degree in 
"oceanography" superior to that which channels training through traditional 
scientific disciplines. 
The following information is included for each listed institution. 
1. A brief description of programs and 
facilities at each institution. 
2. The name of the department in which 
listed courses are taught. 
3. The name, academic rank, and highest 
degree held by all faculty members 
teaching courses listed or supervising 
student research. 
4, Degrees offered in oceanography or 
related marine science. 
5. A list of courses, including course 
number, title, teacher, and description. 
6. The person to be contacted for further 
information, 
In addition to the individual listings for each institution, an 
alphabetical listing of all faculty members is appended.
