Student theses and dissertations
Molluscan Ecology
graduate students are enrolled in the College of William and Mary, Virginia
Institute of Marine Science, School of Marine Science. Copies of their
VIMS/SMS theses or dissertations are kept on file at both the VIMS library
and the College of William and Mary's SWEM library. In 1997, the School
of Marine Science and the College of William and Mary changed the name
of the master's degree earned by VIMS students from a Master of Arts degree
to a Master of Science degree. The degree requirements, a combination
of coursework and original, independent scientific research, did not change.
