The Marine Mammal Graduate Certificate represents a transdisciplinary approach to marine mammalogy through the study of the stewardship of our oceans. The certificate represents an approach to curriculum integration which dissolves boundaries between conventional disciplines and organizes teaching and learning around the construction of meaning in the context of real-world problems.

Required courses are offered hybrid at Corvallis with face-to-face content at Hatfield Marine Science Center.

Certificate Code: CG32

Upon successful completion of the program, students will be able to:

• Apply marine mammal biology, ecology, and areas of conflict with human use of marine ecosystems.
• Synthesize concepts and practices that exemplify transdisciplinary approaches to marine mammalogy (e.g., systems thinking, systems mapping, stakeholder mapping), that facilitate collaborative and inclusive problem-solving strategies.
• Integrate the peer-reviewed literature to produce a research or outreach capstone project.
