This track focuses on all aspects of organisms in marine and coastal systems. Examples of careers available to students choosing this track are:
To earn a Bachelor of Science in Biology (in any career track), students must complete both the
In addition, students will complete at least 45 semester credit hours of course work in the Marine Biology Track. Twenty-eight semester credit hours are required marine biology core courses; the other seventeen hours are marine biology electives. A student (in consultation with his or her Faculty Mentor and Academic Advisor) selects appropriate electives to personalize the Blank Marine Biology Track Degree Plan. The current Undergraduate Catalog contains a description of the Biology Program and a list of Biology Course Descriptions.
Important Note: Laboratory Safety Seminar (SMTE 0091) is a co-requisite course for all courses in the Department of Life Sciences that have a laboratory component.
