Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Marine Science] From University of Maine

Students seeking the BS degree in Marine Science can complete the degree without a concentration, or they may select one of three concentrations: marine biology, oceanography or aquaculture. 

The interdisciplinary curriculum prepares students to analyze critically contemporary issues such as environmental change, human impacts on the ocean, and biodiversity. The program provides a solid preparation for immediate employment in marine-related industries, governmental agencies, education, and the nonprofit sector. Faculty and student research activities include the fields of aquaculture, oceanography, public policy, marine biology, biotechnology, geology and archeology. Students in the program are required to conduct independent research projects in their senior year under the supervision of university faculty. In addition to the Gulf of Maine, research is conducted throughout the world’s oceans, from the Arctic and the tropics to the Antarctic. Many students study abroad in locations like Australia, Turks and Caicos, and Costa Rica.
