Good morning MARMAM! I wanted to chat about our Marine Mammal Science degree program which falls under our Master of Professional Science (take 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) I have listed all 14 tracks below including marine mammal science: *Degree Programs <https://mps.rsmas.miami.edu/degree-tracks/index.html>* -
