UNDERGRADUATE MARINE SCIENCE PROGRAM - MARINE GEOLOGY (UNDERGRADUATE MARINE SCIENCE PROGRAM - MARINE GEOLOGY )

Type
Bachelor (ISCED 2011 level 6)
Taal

Engels

Cost $45,264 for non-resident students

This option prepares students for graduate study in oceanography, geology, environmental science, or an allied field, as well as for immediate employment. Depending on their choice of electives, students also may fulfill the requirements of a major in geological sciences.

Graduation Requirements for the Major

  • Students majoring in Marine Science must have a cumulative grade-point average of 2.0.
  • All students in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences must complete the SEBS Core Requirements, plus the additional Major requirements below.
  • All students in the School of Arts and Sciences must complete the SAS Core Requirements, plus the additional Major requirements below.
  • Professional Ethics: Ethical issues in marine sciences are addressed throughout the program in both introductory and advanced courses, especially within the framework of the experience-based educational requirement.
