This page is for MMA Corning School of Ocean Studies alumni, current and prospective students, and friends. This is a place to connect, brag, and network.
The Corning School of Ocean Studies offers dynamic majors in Marine Biology and Marine Science.
Our oceanside campus and waterfront facilities are the ideal location for your comprehensive ocean-based science education. Whether it’s aboard our research vessel Friendship, in our waterfront classrooms and wet labs, or receiving your SCUBA certification, you will develop an awareness of the ocean environment and of human impact on the ocean’s ecosystems.
MMA offers the only program of its type in the U.S.: a five-year dual degree program joining Marine Biology or Marine Science and Small Vessel Operations. This popular offering combines your passion for science and love of vessels, navigation and boat handling. Graduates will receive a Bachelor’s and Associate’s degree and qualify for the US Coast Guard 200-ton Mate license. This license allows you to be the operator of vessels up to about 150 feet in length, including research vessels, ferries, whale watch excursion boats, and many more.
