Ocean Engineering universities
(OP)
I am applying to colleges that offer a degree in ocean engineering and I'm trying to get a sense for the programs at Florida Institute of Tecnology, University of Hawaii, Florida Atlantic University, UC San Diego and University of Rhode island. or should I look elsewhere? Do graduates from these schools have wide appeal in the job market?

You should be able to check the school's graduate successes. They often want to tout it to potential students. You could get the name of a working student and ask that person about opportunities. Personally I think it would be a great degree!

Also, Texas A&M has an Ocean program and another program focused more on offshore and near coastal structures at their Galveston campus.

Let me go ahead and put in a plug for a Mechanical Engineering degree. A BSME would give you alot more flexibility. I've seen plenty of job postings for an ocean/marine engineer OR a ME and I've seen lots more that specified JUST ME. But I've never seen (though they may be out there) a job listing for JUST an Ocean Engineering graduate.

Later while working for an Offshore Consulting firm I got an MS in Civil Engineering. I sort of wish I had done things the other way around, CE first, then OE. But none the less my OE degree was sufficient to land two jobs.
However, an ME degree is always a good choice too.

ME v. CE - I guess it all depends on if you'd rather work on weapons/weapon platforms or targets.

Elsewhere? Why not outside the US? (This is an international Forum)
Some of the most active innovators and suppliers for sub-sea and ocean engineering solutions are located in Norway, with exports and projects in Asia, Russia, South America, Africa, Canada... and even US..

Texas A&M does have a great OE program. If you are looking more for vessel systems design, then look at the Marine Engineering degree at Texas A&M-Galveston.
