Our Curriculum

SMEA’s Master of Marine Affairs curriculum is built around the concept of human dimensions of the marine environment – how humans’ behaviors, attitudes, and policies affect global change in the marine environment. Interdisciplinary study is key to this concept and is a critical component of the MMA degree.
