Historical NoteReturn to Top

The UW Oceanographic Laboratories, founded in 1930 and directed by Professor Thomas G. Thompson, were the precursor of the School. The School of Oceanography was organized formally in 1951, under the directorship of Richard Fleming. It hosts the oldest undergraduate program in the nation, graduating its first student, Alyn Duxbury, in 1955, who went on to become one of the founding figures of oceanography science and education.

The School of Oceanography offers courses and conducts basic research in oceanography, the science that examines physical, geological, chemical, and biological processes in the oceans and interactions of the ocean with the earth, the biosphere, and the atmosphere. It forms a core unit of the College of the Environment.
