Making Science Come Alive.
Whitford, Dennis J.; Eisman, Greg A.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v27 n2 p109-13 Nov 1997
The U.S. Naval Academy oceanography major is bucking the nationwide trend toward declining enrollments in science majors study tracks. Nontraditional approaches used include interdisciplinary and applied science, significant instructor experience in applying the major outside academia, hands-on laboratories in all classes, and an oceanography summer cruise that occurs prior to beginning the major.
