We wanted to let you know that apps are now open for the Master of Professional Science degree at the University of Miami for Fall 2022 in 14 different tracks including Marine Mammal Science (PhD and MS apps will open August 15th for Fall 2022 – check this link for a list of assistantships as they come in: https://graduate.rsmas.miami.edu/admissions/phd-assistanships/index.html). 

Our Master of Professional Science degree (take the many of the same courses as Ph.D. and MS students, but instead of a thesis/dissertation, you do an internship/research in the field with organizations such as NOAA, NPS, NGOs, etc. and 94% of students have a job in the field 6 months after graduation) has rolling admission until June for international students and July for domestic, but this track will fill up before December. We are also waiving the GRE for Fall 2022 and beyond (tuition waivers will be based on GPA only). Info on our marine mammal science track can be found here: Marine Mammal Science

In an effort to support the University's diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the Rosenstiel School’s Master of Professional Science is offering 4 Rosenstiel Opportunity Scholarships of 24-credits each (allowing a student to earn the last 6 credits through merit-based waivers) by providing scholarships for high achieving students from historically underserved or underrepresented populations and/or socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds who are entering graduate school at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. 

Any questions, please ask! I'm more than willing to facetime, Skype, Zoom, Text (561-460-1019), or just chat on the phone to help you out. Excited to chat with you all about the programs!!!
