The Coastal Universities Guide is an interactive map-based tool for high school or college students looking for an undergraduate or graduate coastal program.
The Guide was developed by ASBPA’s Students and New Professionals. The goal is to recruit smart young minds already interested in science and math to become coastal geologists, engineers, and nearshore oceanographers. Please help share it with students, academics, and guidance or career counselors.

This is a subjective decision. If you consider your program to have a coastal specialty, go ahead and submit it. Very few programs or degrees include the word “coastal”; however, many science, engineering, and other departments allow for coastal specialization through coursework and research with coastal experts. The map should include both. One university may have several coastal programs. If you do not see your program please fill out the coastal university guide input form.
The tool has been developed by volunteers and many programs are likely missing. Please help! Enter your program in the above form.
We’d like the main and branch campuses to be shown on the map if both have coastal programs. Please add location information for both.
At this time, no. Many universities around the world offer outstanding coastal training and education, but this tool will only be covering U.S. based institutions (but be sure to pan out to see Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico!)
