Coastal & Ocean Studies
- Williamstown, USA
Course
On-Campus
English
The Coastal & Ocean Studies (CAOS) concentration provides students with an opportunity to explore how humans interact with the environment, including the maritime environment. Understanding the oceans and our interactions with them is of increasing importance in this era of climate change, sea-level rise, fisheries crises, and the internationalization of the high seas. We encourage students to investigate our WaterWorld from the perspectives of the humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences. Coastal & Ocean Studies (CAOS) is an interdisciplinary, cross-divisional program that includes the literature, history, policy issues, and science of the ocean. Candidates for the concentration in Coastal & Ocean Studies (CAOS) must complete a minimum of seven courses: the interdisciplinary introductory course (GEOS 104 Oceanography), four intermediate core courses (at Williams-Mystic), an elective, and a 400-level Environmental Studies seminar.

Coastal degree programs focus on the study of coastal environments and their management. This field combines natural sciences, social sciences, and policy studies to address the complexities of coastal ecosystems, making it an exciting area for those passionate about environmental issues.
Through courses in marine biology, coastal ecology, and resource management, students gain hands-on experience in assessing coastal habitats and developing conservation strategies. These programs emphasize fieldwork, allowing students to engage directly with coastal regions and understand their dynamics. Students build confidence as they explore various perspectives on habitat preservation and sustainable use.
Graduates often pursue careers in environmental consultancy, coastal policy development, or marine conservation. They may work with government agencies, non-profit organizations, or private industry, applying their skills to enhance ecosystem protection and promote responsible resource management. With the growing importance of sustainable practices, a degree in this field opens up a range of global opportunities in addressing environmental challenges effectively.
