COASTAL MARINE AND WETLAND STUDIES (M.S) Coastal Carolina University (15 miles from Myrtle Beach) offers a graduate degree (M.S.) in Coastal Marine and Wetland Studies. The program consists of 24 hrs of coursework and 6 hrs of thesis research. Courses are taught primarily by faculty members from two academic departments: biology and marine science. The coursework involves three core classes stressing coastal physical processes, ecology, and environmental policy. Located near coastal marshes, swamps, a large unregulated river, barrier islands, and the ocean, the program offers exceptional opportunities for basic and applied research. Students pursue projects that contribute to characterization and preservation of the coastal ecosystem and organisms that thrive in this ecosystem. Assistantships and Fellowships (GK-12) are available.
