The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego offers PhD programs across three broad academic areas: Climate, Ocean, and Atmosphere (COAP); Geosciences of the Earth, Oceans and Planets (GEO); and Ocean Biosciences (OBP). Each program oversees graduate education, instruction, advising, and examinations within its respective field. Applicants can apply to up to two programs. Upon admission, students are assigned a guidance committee, including an advisor, and must commit to a specific curricular group early in their studies, as this determines their first-year departmental examination.
