M.S. and Ph.D. Graduate Programs at CMOP
Through its several academic partners, the Center for Coastal Margin Observation (CMOP) offers interdisciplinary M.S. and Ph.D. program tracks, preparing graduate students for leadership in fields such as coastal oceanography, environmental microbiology, biogeochemistry, computer sciences, and information technology.
CMOP is a unique interdisciplinary, multi-institutional entity
Located outside of Portland, Oregon, CMOP is hosted by Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) at the Department of Science & Engineering. CMOP is funded through a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant and is a collaborative effort between several academic and industry partners.
