Updated design of my own oceanography program (for fun) What do you all think?
Red = Techniques stream
Purple = Chemical Oceanography stream
Blue = Physical Oceanography stream
Brown = Geological Oceanography stream
Green = Biological Oceanography stream
Gray = all streams
Arrows indicate pre-requisites.
This assumes introductory English, physics, math, bio, and chem courses usually done as required generals already completed.
I designed it based on the certifications for registered government biologists, chemists, geologists, and physicists in mind as well as what courses my university offered and how. I know some of these aren’t traditionally oceanography courses but the way my university structured them their design made them work well.
I wanted to consider it at a regional university scale (7 profs, 2 techs for the dept). Since there’s a lot of overlap between fundamental courses offered in other departments I labelled which ones would be able to be outsourced and which ones would have to be done within the oceanography department and designed it as if I’d be proposing it to my university for a new department creation (so looking to not create new courses where I can).
