School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering

The School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering (SMSOE) is the University of New Hampshire’s first interdisciplinary school, designed to address today’s highly complex ocean and coastal challenges through integrated graduate education, research and engagement. As such, it serves as an interdisciplinary nexus for marine science and ocean engineering teaching and research across the University.

Combining traditional faculty and program strengths in oceanography, marine biology and ocean engineering with an emerging marine policy focus, the School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering provides its students with the scientific underpinnings of these disciplines while training them to contribute to and engage in scientifically-informed policy and resource management. Both the graduate and undergraduate degree programs and undergraduate minors are offered through programs that are integrated between the school and the appropriate colleges and departments at UNH.
