Marine biologists study living organisms and their relationship to the marine environment. Although part of a broader field called Marine Science, most marine biologists specialize in one area of biology, such as zoology (the study of animals), botany (the study of plants) or microbiology (the study of microscopic marine organisms).
The Marine Biology curriculum has been designed to prepare students for transfer to universities offering a baccalaureate degree. However, course requriements depend on the four-year institution you plan to attend and may vary. Please contact Dr. Debra Woodall to create your plan of study.
