The College of Marine and Earth Studies (CMES) is dedicated
to advancing the knowledge, use, and conservation of the earth, its
oceans and its other resources. The college’s goal is to produce wellrounded
scientists and policy specialists who have the broad vision
and interdisciplinary background necessary to address the sweeping,
interrelated issues that are part of the study of ocean and earth
systems.
With a deep commitment to excellence in academics, research
and public outreach, CMES plays a leading role in educating future
marine and earth scientists, educators and policy specialists. The
classrooms and labs at both the Newark and Lewes campuses are
active and engaging learning environments where students work
closely with the premiere faculty of the college.
Undergraduate students interested in the Earth and Ocean are
connected to CMES in a number of ways: a) As majors in Earth
Science Education, Geology, or Environmental Science; b) As
students getting a minor in Marine Studies, Geology, or Coastal and
Marine Geoscience; and c) Participating in research opportunities
with CMES faculty through University of Delaware Undergraduate
Research Program (www.urp.udel.edu) and other research
opportunities.
