The Marine Mammal Center
In college, you should major in general sciences or specifically marine sciences or engineering. Most oceanographers continue on to a graduate program. Graduate schools divide oceanography into five major subdivisions: biological oceanography, physical oceanography, chemical oceanography, geological oceanography, and oceanographic engineering. Depending on the institution, masters and/or doctoral ...
