A Publication for Faculty and Staff of the University of Miami Volume 17, Number 16 March 21, 1977 y UM to Offer Undergraduate Program In Marine Science Starting in Fall In response to the increased awareness in the United States and Latin America of the importance of ocean resources, the University of Miami will offer undergraduate degrees in marine science starting with the 1977 fall semester. Dr. Clyde J. Wingfield, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, announced that the undergraduate program is being offered jointly by the University’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) and the College of Arts and Sciences. The Rosenstiel School, a leading oceanographic institution, attracts students and faculty throughout the world and conducts research in marine science. Dr. William W. Hay, dean of the Rosenstiel School, said that the Bachelor of Science degree will permit students to obtain double majors in marine science coupled with biology, geology, physics or chemistry. Students who earn this degree will be well qualified for graduate work in science, or for positions in state, federal, or private-sector agencies dealing with the marine environment. The Bachelor of Arts with a marine science major will be offered as a liberal study and for students interested in non- scientific professional activities in law, business, or government that will require a knowledge of marine affairs. Undergraduate work will include operations in the Gulf Stream and the coastal waters of South Florida for all majors, a summer field course in the Florida Keys for marine science biology majors, and a summer field camp in Guatemala for marine science geology majors. Some 120 faculty members of the Rosenstiel School and the College of Arts and Sciences will participate. Coordinator of the program is Dr. Cesare Emiliani, chairman of the geology department and professor of geology and of marine geology and geophysics. Associate coordinator is Dr. Donald P. de Sylva, associate professor of biology and living resources at RSMAS. The program can accommodate up to 250 entering freshmen, Dr. Hay said. Dr. Wingfield stated that the University is well known for its graduate program in marine and atmospheric science and for its strengths in the sciences generally. “We are confident that the superior faculties and facilities of the new marine science program will attract additional outstanding undergraduate students to the University,” he said.

Should applicants need additional assistance in meeting the University’s $3,300 annual tuition fee, other aid may be available through the Office of Student Financial Aid, according to Dr. William R.

Renewals of the awards for subsequent years will be made on the basis of the students maintaining a 3.2 grade point of Engineering and Environmental Design, said, “The department believes that in these times of severe competition for rewarding employment in architecture, students holding the new degree will enjoy increased marketability. ’ ’ The program will enable qualified students to focus on their chosen direction for study and research. “The challenges of future careers and leadership in the competitive field of architecture require advanced study and graduate experience,” Dr. Honikman said. The new program will be open only to students who have demonstrated high levels of scholarship, the chairman added. “Part of the purpose of the program will be the development of new knowledge average (A= 4) in full time study. The awards will be renewable each year until completion of the baccalaureate degree requirements.
