\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 April 24, 2008\u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站 has begun enrolling students in the nation\u2019s first graduate degree program to merge a master of business administration with a master\u2019s of oceanography degree. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe 16-month, dual degree program, dubbed the Blue MBA for its oceanography focus, will educate future leaders in global climate change opportunities, according to 溏心vlog免费B站 Professor of Oceanography S. Bradley Moran and College of Business Dean Mark Higgins, who are leading the initiative.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThe business community will likely bear the brunt of the challenge to find ways to reduce the world\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions, yet few people have the necessary training in both business and climate science to lead the way,\u201d said Moran. \u201cThis unique new business-science dual degree will educate students in the application of strategic management, leadership, and ocean and climate sciences to important real-world problems.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThis degree will provide tomorrow’s leaders in science with the knowledge and skills to develop business models to ensure an environmentally sustainable world for future generations,\u201d said Higgins.<\/p>\n


\n\tMoran and Higgins said the degree is designed for students with undergraduate training in pure science, environmental science, or engineering who want to develop management skills and diversify their career opportunities. The degree would be particularly beneficial to those seeking management careers in industries such as energy, ocean technology and engineering, hazard risk management, water resources, fisheries, marine navigation and tourism, as well as ocean and human health.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cAs climate change accelerates and the business community responds, there will be a strong demand for graduates who can claim a rigorous background in ocean and climate science while also having the benefits of an MBA,\u201d said David Farmer, dean of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School of Oceanography. \u201cThe MBA\/MO offers an outstanding chance for students to take advantage of this challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tStudents would take courses in the 溏心vlog免费B站 business and oceanography programs, and choose additional courses from the economics, natural resource economics, and marine affairs departments. A new course on the business of ocean and climate sciences is currently in development. Internships with businesses are also being planned as part of the curriculum.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe launch of the new degree program next fall will coincide with 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s fall Honors Colloquium on ocean science and climate change, a semester-long series of lectures by prominent experts and a wide range of related activities. <\/p>\n


\n\tStudents interested in enrolling in the program can contact Meredith Clark at 401-874-6246 or mclark@gso.uri.edu or Lisa Lancellotta at 401-874-4241 or mba@uri.edu.<\/p>\n
