Marine Sciences

Somalia is blessed with the longest coastline in Africa. However, the nation lacks Marine Science professionals to help protect and profit from these vast waters and coasts. 

The Bachelor of Science in Marine Science is a four year program designed to produce graduates with well-rounded subject matter knowledge as well as strong research and technical skills. Students will select one of the following three concentrations:
  1. BS Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences;
  2. BS Nautical Science & Maritime Transportation;
  3. BS Shipping & Ports Administration.

All of these concentrations have strong experiential learning components.
