Ancillary Courses

To facilitate the success of students in the Master of Marine Management interdisciplinary degree program, Marine Affairs requires students lacking an introductory oceanography course or an introductory sociology course in their previous education to take an ancillary course. The ancillary courses OCEA / (The Blue Planet) and (People and Culture) are available to MMM students to better prepare them for the core courses (Marine Science and Technology) and (Contemporary Issues in Ocean Management and Development Part 2). These ancillary courses provide students with some exposure to the forces at play in the marine environment, and social science theories, methodologies and approaches. Since these ancillary courses are undergraduate courses, they do not count as a course towards the MMM degree but they are mandatory for any student lacking demonstrable undergraduate knowledge in oceanography or sociology. There is no extra tuition cost to take these courses during the MMM program.

A minimum grade of B- must be achieved in the ancillary courses to continue in the MMM program. Each student will be notified in advance of the beginning of the MMM degree if they are required to undertake an ancillary course. A student required to undertake an ancillary who disagrees with that decision can provide any relevant syllabi to demonstrate undergraduate knowledge in oceanography or sociology. A MAP Faculty will then meet with the student and ask her/him specific questions regarding basic knowledge covered in the ancillary courses. Depending on the acceptability of her/his responses, a decision will be made to waive, audit or take as credit the ancillary course. Following this process, the decision of the MAP Faculty is final. Students are reminded that the identification of the need to take the ancillary courses by MAP is aimed at preparing them to meet the expectations of graduate level courses requiring this basic level of understanding in oceanography and sociology.
