Marine Option Program Academic Subject Certificate (ASC-LBRT-MOP)

The Marine Option Program (MOP) is designed to assist students interested in relating the ocean to their educational and career aspirations. Through MOP, students can obtain a marine orientation to their own degree while earning an Academic Subject Certificate. MOP emphasizes experiential cross-disciplinary education and provides opportunities to apply traditional course work to the real world while students obtain practical marine skills through a "hands-on" internship, research or employment. MOP sponsors numerous field trips, a newsletter, and many opportunities for networking with other interested students and professionals.
