<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Does anyone know the undergraduate rankings for physical oceanography programs?
I tried googling it but I couldn't find it. And top schools that offers this major automatically comes in mind? Thanks in advanc</p>

<p>That's much too specific a field for undergraduate. A major in geology, meteorology, physics, math, or oceanography would be more appropriate.</p>

<p>If you want to be a physical oeanographer, you'll need a PhD. Since the coursework can be taken most places, you have a wide range of schools to choose from. Here's suggested coursework:</p>
<p>
<p>Degrees in engineering, physical sciences, mathematics, or meteorology</p>
<p>Courses in:</p>
<pre><code>* Mathematics (through ordinary and partial differential equations; advanced courses recommended) * Physics (advanced classical mechanical and thermodynamics; fluid dynamics recommended)
</code></pre>
