214 NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 
Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas 
College Station, Texas 
DEPARTMENT OF OCEANOGRAPHY AND METEOROLOGY 
The program of marine sciences at the A&M College of Texas consists 
of the work of the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology, which 
offers curricula leading to the M.S. and the Ph.D. degrees in 
oceanography, and of pertinent courses offered in other departments 
such as Biology, Wildlife Management, and Geology and Geophysics. 
An effort is made to maintain a balance between the biological, 
chemical, geoiogical, and physical aspects of oceanography, both in 
teaching and in research. Facilities include two buildings on the 
campus, a shore laboratory in Galveston, platform facilities offshore 
from Panama City, Florida, the 180' fully equipped oceanographic research 
vessel ALAMINOS, and two 65' vessels for inshore work. To date 45 students 
have completed M.S. degrees and 28 have completed Ph.D. degrees in 
oceanography.
