MS Marine Biology

The Department of Biology and Marine Biology offers programs of study leading to a Master of Science degree in biology and a Master of Science degree in marine biology. The programs are designed (1) to prepare students for further graduate work leading to the Ph.D.; (2) to provide professional biologists with advanced research and education opportunities; (3) to prepare students as managers of coastal and marine resources, trained to deal with contemporary problems in the environment; or (4) to provide a broad–based graduate program allowing for specialization in the diverse fields of inquiry represented by the faculty of the department. Teachers in secondary schools who wish to obtain graduate level teacher certification should check with the graduate coordinator in the College of Education to determine the current requirements for certification.
