Marine scientists use their knowledge of geosciences, in addition to biology and chemistry, to study the world’s oceans and coastal waters. They study the motion and circulation of ocean waters; the physical and chemical properties of the oceans; and how these properties affect coastal areas, climate, and weather.
The Marine Science 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.
