We’re looking for the next generation of coastal science and policy leaders.
The new Coastal Science & Policy Program (CSP) at UC Santa Cruz is now accepting applications.
CSP trains future leaders to advance the sustainable use of coastal resources and conservation of coastal biodiversity, ecosystems, socio-economic integrity, and ecological services. In Monterey Bay and beyond, CSP researchers, students, and partners are working every day to ensure a sustainable future for all who rely on the coastal zone.
CSP offers a Master of Science that will prepare ten outstanding students each year for leadership in coastal science and conservation with experience-based learning, hands-on research, and a deep understanding of the multifaceted problems that face coastal systems. Graduates of this program will help ensure that the interdisciplinary knowledge and insights generated by coastal scientists inform real-world solutions and create measurable, scalable change.
Both U.S. and international students are encouraged to apply, as are ethnic, racially, culturally and socioeconomically underrepresented students. We value diverse perspectives as we build our program culture. The program will offer financial support for tuition and living expenses based on financial need and program resources.
Interested applicants should visit our prospective students page, and inquiries about the program may be directed to csp@ucsc.edu.
Applications for the Fall 2019 cohort open October 1, 2018, and close December 3, 2018.
