23 courses with the subject MI, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
var-3sh Introduction to physical, chemical, biological, and geological aspects of oceans and methods and techniques of oceanography. Lab emphasis placed on at-sea assignments.
var-3sh Familiarization with dynamic marine environment involving use and application of oceanographic instruments and sampling devices.
var-3sh Covers navigation, i.e., the art and science of safely bringing a vessel from one position to another in a body of water. Course divided into (1) brief historical background; (2) navigation within sight of land, i.e., piloting; (3) navigation in the open sea, including electronic navigation methods.
var-3sh Study of marine invertebrates with emphasis on development, reproduction, structure, function, and classification of selected marine organisms.
var-3sh Study of plant and animal life in marine environment with emphasis placed upon physical and chemical factors affecting biota.
var-3sh A course in ecology of marine organisms.
var-3sh the course.) Students who complete course will receive a National Association of Underwater Instructors Diver Certificate.
var-3sh An introduction to basic principles of ecology and natural history of selected plants and animals in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. Suitable for non-Science majors.
var-1-3sh Special topics are offered on an experimental or temporary basis to explore topics that are not included in the established curriculum. A given topic may be offered under any special topic identity no more than three times. Special topics numbered 281 are offered primarily for lower-level undergraduate students.
var-3sh Treatment of oceanic chemical phenomena by sampling and laboratory analysis techniques.
var-3sh In-the-field studies and laboratory analysis by instrumentation of marine and marine fringe plants in the Middle Atlantic Coast as exemplified by those found in the Cape Henlopen, Delaware, and Wallops Island, Virginia, areas.
var-3sh A study of fishes. Specimens collected along Eastern Seaboard by students will be used to illustrate anatomy, physiology, and systematics of this major vertebrate group. Field collections will give student opportunity to observe relationships of these animals to the biotic and physical environment.
var-3sh Designed to familiarize students with various aspects of marine chordates.
var-3sh Introduces student to avian fauna of seacoast and enables comparison with inland species. In addition to field work providing visual and vocal identification, lecture material will include information on distribution, behavior, physiology, and anatomy of birds.
var-3sh Studies of structural and sedimentary environments of continental shelf, slopes, and ocean basins and crustal structure of the earth and its relation to sedimentary record and geologic history of oceans.
var-3sh Course includes consideration of physical properties, mass and energy budgets, theory of distribution of variables; cause, nature, measurement, analysis, and prediction of tides, currents, and waves; and basic instrumentation in the field.
var-3sh Deals with modern, living representatives of microorganisms important in fossil record with particular emphasis placed on taxonomy, morphology, evolution, and ecologic affinities of representative groups.
var-3sh Study of phytoplankton and zooplankton in marine and brackish environments. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons made between the planktonic populations of various types of habitats in relation to primary and secondary productivity.
var-3sh A study of coastal geomorphology with emphasis on Late Cenozoic and Pleistocene sea-level changes in response to worldwide continental glaciation. The student will participate in field studies of Pleistocene deposits and the weathering of these deposits.

var-1-3sh Students with interest in independent study of a topic not offered in the curriculum may propose a plan of study in conjunction with a faculty member. Approval is based on academic appropriateness and availability of resources.
var-3sh Graduate students or undergraduate students with advanced standing registering for this course may elect either of the following options. Option A: Take a 200, 300, or 400 level MI course and complete, in addition to regular course requirements, a project in the area under direction of instructor. Option B: Complete an independent research project. A research proposal must be approved by the Academic Committee of M.S.C. in advance of the time research is to be undertaken.
