| Environmental Science and Policy |
| There are no specific requirements for the Environmental Science and Policy graduate program. Please contact the Department of Environmental Science and Policy for information on academic requirements. |
| Marine Biology and Ecology |
| Students interested in Marine Biology and Ecology for graduate studies should have as background a bachelor's degree that emphasizes the biological sciences, not necessarily the marine sciences. Adequate undergraduate preparation are the types of courses generally used to satisfy the requirements for a bachelor's degree in Biology, thus most successful students have a bachelors' degree in Biology. Undergraduate coursework should include abundant biology electives as well as chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus, and college physics. Other types of degrees are often successful, but require that you make contact with the professor you hope to study with to learn if your degree is appropriate for specific graduate work in Marine Biology and Ecology. |
