∙ 11y agoYou will need, at the very least, an undergraduate degree in biology. This is typically a four year course of study at a university or college. The course work typically consists of math (through Calculus), chemistry (inorganic and organic), physics, and a large number of biology classes which will likely include genetics, physiology, cell biology, ecology, development, and various other classes of your choosing. Most marine biologists hold a PhD degree which is an additional 2 - 4 years of advanced study and research in a specialized area of interest.
