Oceanography
   MS 100 (Lecture) & MS 100 L (Lab)
     Marine Science Department, Orange Coast College
    Marine Science 100 (Lecture) - Oceanography - and Marine Science 100 L (Lab) Oceanography
     are general survey, beginning-level, marine science classes at Orange Coast College.  Both
     classes introduce students to physical, chemical, geological, meteorological, and biological
     oceanography concepts.  The lecture class is worth 3 units and the lab is worth 1 unit.  They
     are also the prerequisite classes for all of the other marine science classes offered at O.C.C.
    (i.e. Marine Mammals, Aquarium class, Coastal Oceanography, and Marine Biology).  These
    two classes are transferable to both the University of California and the California State
    University system for course credit and unit credit to fulfill the requirments under the
    I.G.E.T.S.I. transfer program for physical and natural science credit.  Both classes complement
    each other and it is possible to take the lecture class (MS 100) without taking the lab class
    (MS100L).  However, concurrent enrollment in MS 100 or successful completion of MS 100 with a
    grade of "C" or better is the prerequisiste for MS 100L.
