Marine Biology/ Biomedical Sciences
College or University: Texas A&M University at Galveston
Type of degree: Certificate-Bachelors degree not required
Brief overview of program: This collaboration is intended to maximize the course offerings and resources of both the Biomedical Sciences program in college Station and the Marine Biology program in Galveston to provide students a greater wealth of opportunities.
The certificate program prepares the graduate for careers in aquatic animal health, seafood technology and various marine related disciplines as well as advanced studies in veterinary medicine, human medicine, allied health, biological oceanography and related biological disciplines. The program provides depth in an applied understanding of aquatic animal health and disease.
Because of limited resources the program will have a cap on the number of students admitted to the program. All courses in the program must be completed with a grade of C or better. The certificate will be awarded upon completion of a B.S. degree in Biomedical Sciences or Marine Biology.
Students desiring to obtain a certificate must have approval from the department granting the certificate. Students must have a cumulative 2.5 grade point ration to be admitted to the certificate program and have completed BIOL 111, 112, CHEM 227 and 228.
Interested students should visit with an academic advisor in the department offering the certificate at least one semester prior to entry to discuss departmental requirements as well as to select coursework appropriate to his or her individual interests. Students should also consult an academic advisor in the major to determine how the certificate coursework will be applied to the degree. Students should seek additional advising if planning to pursue admission to medical school or veterinary medicine school.
