Program Overview

LEARN AND RESEARCH WITH THE BEST MARINE SCIENCE PROFESSIONALS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC

What better place to learn about advanced marine systems than on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Earn your Master of Science in Marine Science (MSMS) from HPU. You will perform laboratory research at the Oceanic Institute - a research and development facility dedicated to marine aquaculture, biotechnology, and coastal resource management - located near Makapu‘u Point and study at HPU’s windward Hawaii Loa Campus in K?ne‘ohe featuring 135 tropical acres with awe-inspiring views of O‘ahu’s majestic Ko‘olau Mountains. Get your marine science graduate degree at HPU and learn from the best faculty at the ideal location - Hawai‘i.
