Students in other majors may establish a minor field of study in Coastal Environmental Science and Society (CESS) through the completion of coursework. The CESS minor pairs well with majors in Marine Biology, Marine Fisheries, Maritime Studies, Maritime Business Administration, or Ocean Engineering. It can also be completed as one of the minors for a University Studies degree with a concentration in Marine Environmental Law and Policy.
