Historical NoteReturn to Top

The School of Marine and Environmental Affairs (SMEA) was established in 1972 as the Institute for Marine Studies, and served initially to provide teaching, research, and public service on contemporary problems in ocean and coastal management. The Director and faculty were appointed starting in 1974 and classes were offered shortly thereafter. The MMA degree was authorized in 1978, and the first degrees were awarded in 1980. In 1990, the school name changed to the School of Marine Affairs, and in 2011 the name was expanded to the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs to better reflect the broader environmental approach to addressing marine problems.
