Oceanography, B.S. is a Bachelor program taught at Humboldt State University, USA. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

Cal Poly Humboldt offers a Bachelor of Science in Oceanography that covers the physical, chemical, geological, and biological aspects of the ocean. The program examines ocean processes, including physics, chemistry, geology, and biology, and it includes sub-disciplines such as Biological Oceanography, Chemical Oceanography, Geological Oceanography, and Physical Oceanography.

Learning is grounded in field-based experiences, including time aboard a 90-foot ocean-going research vessel and at Humboldt’s Marine Lab. Students can tailor the curriculum toward sub-disciplines with an oceanic focus, with options that can connect to other disciplines such as Biology, Chemistry, and Geology.

This program leads to careers such as Oceanographer, Marine Biologist, Hydrologist/Water Pollution Technician, Marine Resource Specialist, Hydrographic Survey Technician, Scientific Diver, Research Assistant, Laboratory Assistant, Oceanographic Instrumentation Technician, NOAA Corps Officer, Physical Oceanographer, Chemical Oceanographer, Coastal/Ocean Engineer, Geological Oceanographer, and Aquaculture Technician.
