Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biological Sciences - Aquaculture] From Florida Institute of Technology

Aquaculture is most commonly thought of as "fish farming" – the theory and practice of cultivating marine and freshwater algae and animals for food. The industry also provides opportunity in the development of chemical and pharmaceutical products, scientific research, species population restoration, food safety and sustainability and production of ornamental plants and animals.
With an aquaculture degree, you might monitor the health and well-being of farm-raised fish, manage the technical operations of a hatchery, work for a government agency (such as the EPA or USDA) or be an integral part of the team at an aquarium or zoo. No matter what direction you choose, an aquaculture degree from Florida Tech helps you develop a strong background in biology and get hands-on experience in chemistry and zoology.

Build Professional Relationships

Beyond the classroom, aquaculture majors build leadership and professional experience through exciting internships and opportunity for participation in academic organizations like Tri Beta (biological sciences honor society), the Aquaculture Society, student government and over 100 other student organizations. Each of these experiences gives students a way to interact with other aquaculture students, professors and industry professionals.
