Marine Biology Degree Programs in the U.S. The following is our list of all U.S. schools that offer degrees in Marine Biology or related fields such as Biological Oceanography, Marine Science, Fisheries, etc. Please note that most degrees in Marine Biology are earned at the Masters level or higher and usually require a Bachelor's degree first in Biology, zoology or another life science. Many schools now also offer Bachelor degrees in Marine Biology but to be a "true" Marine Biologist be sure to follow through and complete your Master's or Doctorate (PhD) degree.
You might be thinking of marine zoology, which is a branch of marine biology. It (marine zoology) deals with the "critters" or creatures or animals in the marine environment. Certainly at the very "end" of the scale of marine creatures are living things that might be either animal or plant in nature. We usually see the more general term marine biologist in use to define someone who works in this area, and then a specialty under that umbrella.

marine biology- bio means life, and logy means science of. so biology means science of life. marine biology is basically studying the sea and any other bodies of water like streams and rivers. it's to explore the unknown, like in the ocean. there are probably millions of fish we haven't discovered, or we have and just don't know. the main point- marine biology relates to science because it is the science of sea(or any other water) life

The university of san Diego was the best choice of majoring in marine biology.
Try looking into schools that offer marine biology as a degree program. For example, UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Wilmington offer great programs in marine biology. Some schools may not offer marine biology as a degree program, but if you took regular biology there is no doubt that at the master's level you'll be in the marine biology program.
The top u.s schools for biology are Stanford Universety taking first and Harvard fallowing close by for the leading biology schools.
Marine biology is a job. There's multiple feilds, but marine biology itself is a job
Harvard, Cornell and Duke all offer Marine Biology tracks or specialization. If you can get into an Ivy League school, go there for biology even if they don't have a degree program. For schools that specialize in marine biology: University of Miami, University of Texas Austin, Boston University, Berkley, UC Santa Barbara, and University of Washington all offer top notch programs. However, getting a BS in Marine Biology isn't going to land you a career. You'll need a graduate degree to do research. It might be better to go to a school with a good biology program, and get marine biology experience over the summer (like at the local aquarium, or down in Florida/Texas with a summer research program). Be sure to get boating and SCUBA experience, as well. Then your good background in undergraduate biology, along with these summer experiences, will make you a good candidate for graduate school.
Galveston is one of the top colleges in the country for Marine Biology which means you CAN get a Bachelor's Degree. One of the best! From their web site:Curriculum in Marine Biology (MARB) The Department of Marine Biology offers these three degree programs: Marine Biology (MARB), Marine Biology License Option (MARB/LO) and Marine Fisheries (MARF).
It is recommended to major in a broad subject, such as Biology for your Bachelor's degree and then specialize in a field of marine biology for your Graduate degree and/or PhD. Therefore there are lots of schools you can begin your undergrad degree at but for schools that specifically offer marine biology degrees you can check out http://marinebio.org/MarineBio/Careers/USschools.asp where there are lists of schools, separated by state, For more useful information on how to become a marine biologist, read the article I wrote at http://www.edsoup.com/blog/ready-to-go-to-marine-biology-college-and-become-the-next-jacques-cousteau/
Marine biology is the scientific study of the biology of marine life, organisms in the sea.
Marine biology started when it did
A degree in marine biology or general biology.
Yes, marine biology is a specialized division of biology which is the study of life.
The first degree you would get to become a marine biologist is a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology, or a Bachelor of Science in Biology with an emphasis in Marine Biology. for further degrees you would need to go to graduate school to get your Masters in Marine Biology.
