RUCOOL has been innovating undergraduate and graduate programs since inception. RUCOOL has developed a 4+1 program, the Masters of Operational Oceanography (MOO), with all graduates being hired before or nearly immediately upon completion. Starting salaries after one year of RUCOOL training average $79,200 per year. The MOO program has galvanized new partnerships with marine industries, and serves as a model for emerging efforts being considered by other countries. RUCOOL anchors immersion courses on its robotic and data technologies in summers subscribed by RU undergraduates, the Navy, NATO, peer universities, and other countries (Korea, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Barbados, South Africa). RUCOOL engages undergraduates from their freshmen year introducing them to RU Career Services and engaging them in ocean exploration while on main campus. RU students are also our ambassadors joining research spanning Antarctica, Arctic, Europe, Asia, South America, Caribbean, and Central America.
