Overview

This Marine Conservation and Policy program from Stony Brook University is designed to be completed in 12 months of full-time study, and requires a minimum of 30 credits of coursework, although due to the elective nature of the curriculum, many students will complete additional credits for their degree.

Students wishing to complete a more comprehensive capstone project or internship, or also complete an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Communicating Science or Geospatial Sciences may elect to stay on for a third semester. The program can also be completed part-time, but is not designed for students who may only be able to enroll in night classes.

Careers

This program is designed for students who are interested in conservation-based careers, such as those in management, policy, consultancy, or informal education and outreach, rather than in more traditional academic research careers.
