The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution (WHOI) Joint Program in Oceanography/Applied Ocean Science and
Engineering is a five-year doctoral degree program. The combined strengths of
MIT and WHOI provide research and educational opportunities in scientific and
engineering disciplines that contribute to ocean science. Many students carry
out interdisciplinary research. Only U.S. Naval Officers are admitted to the
Joint Program for a master's degree. Increasing representation, having a diverse
student body, and advancing inclusion are critical to the MIT-WHOI JP’s mission,
and to the missions of both MIT and WHOI.
