Bacharel em Ciências Marinhas

Saint Joseph’s is the only liberal arts college in Maine and one of the few small colleges in the Northeast that offers a major in marine science.

Through independent study, internships, and senior research, students work on important local issues. From cataloguing the diversity of Gulf of Maine waters to studying the causes and effects of red tide outbreaks, or researching how the chemical environments affect juvenile clam survival (crucial to proper fishery management), the marine science program is making a difference today and developing the scientists and leaders of tomorrow.

Rooted in and professing fidelity to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the doctrines and heritage of the Roman Catholic Church, Saint Joseph’s College, sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, is a liberal arts college that nurtures intellectual, spiritual, and social growth in students of all ages and all faiths within a value-centred environment.
