The MAS in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation program is accepting applications for the 2026-2027 cohort from September 3rd 2025, until January 21st, 2026.

My name is Hannah Tannenbaum, and I am here to help you through the admissions process.

Applying to graduate school is daunting, and we understand that, especially if you’ve been out of school for several years working. My goal is to support prospective applicants throughout the admissions process, and help you better understand what to expect with the MAS MBC program.

In order to support prospective candidates through the application process, we will be holding a number of Information Sessions via zoom, as well as Application Tip Tuesdays on Instagram/Youtube. All sessions will be recorded, and you can find the recordings below after each session has been completed. You can see all of the recordings from the 25-26 admissions cycle here.

Start your application today!
