Marine Biology

To facilitate a high degree of individualization for students in this program, there are only three course requirements: one semester of biological oceanography, to set the environmental background; one semester of statistics at the graduate level; and, one semester of seminar (SMS 691).  Students interact closely with their committees to select additional coursework that provides both a broad knowledge base in marine biology and specific emphases ranging from taxonomy/systematics to comparative morphology, evolution, genetics, physiology, cellular and molecular biology, and ecology. 

For detailed degree requirements, consult the student manual.
