Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) is home to San José State University’s School of Marine Science, which offers a master’s degree and undergraduate courses to students from five CSUs. SJSU faculty and researchers generate millions in research grants. This environment provides students hands-on, field-oriented research utilizing a 60,000-square-foot laboratory, research vessels, an aquaculture facility and a dive program. Faculty from all CSUs can collaborate with MLML faculty and researchers.
