Oceanographers work at sea, in coastal regions, and on land, using a variety of field methods and computer-based analysis. Many oceanographers have a different STEM major as undergraduates (such as Geology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or Math) and then may continue on for a masters or Ph.D. in Oceanography or Marine Science.
