College of Engineering - Department of Ocean Engineering
The Department of Ocean Engineering provides a challenging and diverse intellectual environment offering academic programs leading to B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. Our graduate program in ocean engineering was established in 1966 and was the first of its type in the United States.
The more recently established undergraduate program is one of a limited number of ABET-accredited programs in the country.
As a student in URI's ocean engineering program, you'll learn from faculty who are internationally recognized for their contributions in research and education.
