Additional Courses

"There is an increasing need for a
number of courses to provide intellectual
insight into the world ocean and man's
increasing dependence upon the
environment of the sea," President
Shannon declared.

A second course in oceanic studies,
"The Science of the Seas," will join the
currently offered course next fall.

President Shannon said that the
University will also organize a credit
course for independent study called "The
World Ocean" in the School of General
Studies.
