The Master of Arts in Marine Conservation and Policy (M.A. MCP) at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University, is a non-research-based program designed to equip students with up-to-date knowledge and professional skills for marine conservation positions in government, consulting, NGOs, and related areas such as law, teaching, or communication. The curriculum emphasizes contemporary marine conservation and policy issues and includes coursework in marine sciences, conservation, science communication, policy/law/management, quantitative skills, and a required capstone project or internship. It is structured for completion in 12 months of full-time study, though some students may extend to a third semester for a more comprehensive project or dual certificates. 来源： https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/somas/education/graduate/
