专业概况

The Coastal Science and Policy Program (CSP) at the University of California Santa Cruz offers a Master of Science that prepares students from diverse academic and professional backgrounds for leadership in coastal science and policy. Interdisciplinary coursework, experience-based learning, hands-on research with institutional partners, and a deep understanding of the multifaceted approaches to advancing sustainable and productive ecosystems, coastal communities, industries and institutions prepares students for impactful careers. Graduates of this program will help ensure that innovative interdisciplinary knowledge and insights inform real-world solutions and create measurable and scalable change.

The intensive coursework and engagement with institutional partners limits the capacity of the Masters program to ten extraordinary incoming students each year. The program seeks national and international individuals with demonstrated experience and passion for coastal science and policy seeking to become the next generation of coastal science and policy leaders. Small cohorts and need-based financial aid for incoming students also allows CSP to facilitate in-depth interaction with faculty members, professionals and practitioners in the field. As such, the application process is very competitive.

Our location on Monterey Bay and UCSC’s coastal research campus allow the CSP graduate program to conduct groundbreaking collaborative research and offer students unique educational opportunities. Located at the nexus of Silicon and Salinas Valleys, Monterey Bay represents the tremendous potential of coastal ecological and social systems around the world. Students can exploit local opportunities or apply their interests to coastal regions elsewhere in the world. CSP is an incubator, inspiring students to either create small businesses and NGOs or facilitate larger institutions and governments to advance sustainability science and policy. CSP faculty are leaders in coastal natural and social sciences, economics, governance, and policy. CSP students will be the coastal science and policy makers of the future.

In addition to their rigorous coursework, CSP students are required to conduct their own research projects through their individual capstone projects, carried out during the second year of study. Linking academic researchers and graduate students directly with science, business, and policy practitioners provides dual immersion in the academic and practitioner cultures and contexts and, ultimately, the ability to work fluidly across the academic-practitioner interface.

Our Mission

The Coastal Science and Policy Program at UC Santa Cruz aims to train coastal science and policy leaders to identify critical threats to social and ecological systems, respond to complex problems with effective, practical alternatives, and to confront institutions with innovative, interdisciplinary solutions.
