30 PhD programmes in Oceanography in North America

Dalhousie University's Doctor of Philosophy in Oceanography programme offers you the opportunity to gain oceanography research experience that has real-world impact and explore Canada's premier location for oceanographic research and education. Opportunities include careers in industry, government agencies, and private institutions.

Physical Oceanography at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is the exploration and study of the physics and geography of the ocean currents and water properties. 

Chemical Oceanography at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is the study of the pathways that chemical species follow on their transit through the oceans.

The mission of the Ocean Sciences - Marine Biogeochemistry graduate program at the University of Miami is to provide our students with specialized knowledge in important ocean science sub-disciplines as well as a broad understanding of the ocean as a key component of the Earth System. 

The Department of Ocean Sciences (OCE) seeks to advance knowledge and understanding of physical, chemical and biological processes in the oceans. The Ocean Sciences - Air-Sea Interaction and Remote Sensing track is offered at the University of Miami.

Oceanography is the interdisciplinary science that focuses on the ocean, its contents, and its boundaries. This program is offered at Texas A&M University.

Students from the Applied Ocean Science program at the University of California, San Diego perform research in marine acoustics, optics, electromagnetics, geophysics, ecology, sediment transport, coastal processes, physical oceanography, and air-sea interaction.

The Oceanography Program at University of British Columbia builds on a proven record of accomplishments of the core faculty of the Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences Department that supervised several hundred graduate students. 

Biological Oceanography is concerned with the interactions of populations of marine organisms with one another and with their physical and chemical environment. The Biological Oceanography program is offered by the University of California, San Diego.

The Department of Ocean Sciences (OCE) seeks to advance knowledge and understanding of physical, chemical and biological processes in the oceans. The Ocean Sciences - Biophysical Interactions programme is offered at the University of Miami.

We offer a phd degree in Applied Coastal and Ocean Sciences at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

The goal of the graduate program at the University of Washington, School of Oceanography is to enable your professional growth through courses and independent research. 

The Oceanography program at The University of Maine creates and communicates integrated understanding of oceanographic processes by weaving fundamentals from basic sciences and mathematics into a fully interdisciplinary, marine context.

Applied Ocean Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a discipline that combines basic research on a wide range of oceanic processes with applied research and engineering design of systems for the exploration, measurement, mapping, prediction, and beneficial use of the oceans.

We seek to promote, among the public and policy makers, responsible science-based stewardship of the oceans. The Ocean Sciences - Ocean Dynamics program at the University of Miami commits to inspire graduates to continued scholarship, service, and innovation in an environment that is inclusive and diverse.

The goal of the Ph.D. in Ocean Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology is to educate the next generation of transdisciplinary ocean scientists and engineers by combining the basic and applied sciences with innovative ocean technologies, and to advance interdisciplinary research at the frontiers of the physical, biological, chemical and human dimensions of ocean systems. 

The Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) offers Ph.D. degrees in the physics, chemistry, and biology of the atmosphere-ocean system. 

In your Earth and Ocean Sciences PhD degree at the University of Victoria, you will work within a community of diverse and innovative research, preparing a final dissertation that will show your hard work and research focus.

Our center at New York University offers an interdisciplinary PhD in Atmosphere Ocean Science and Mathematics (AOSM). 

Through research and course work, Oceanography students at the University of Delaware learn about remote sensing, the development of microelectrode probes and sensors, cutting-edge data assimilation and visualization techniques and autonomous underwater vehicles.
