The Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (CMBC) at Scripps

Biodiversity and Conservation. Offered in cooperation with the

multidisciplinary program will include courses in natural, social, and
informatic sciences; marine policy, economics, and law; and training in
important cultural and communications skills, providing well-rounded

science involved in biodiversity and conservation efforts. Students can

School of International Relations and Pacific Studies. The World

Southwest Fisheries Science Center and other government and
non-government agencies add value to the program by providing special
lectures and discussions. No more than 15 master's students will be
