Biology with Concentration in Marine Biology
College or University: California State University Stanislaus
Type of degree: B.S.
Brief overview of program: The Department of Biological Sciences at CSU Stanislaus offers a concentration in Marine Biology within our undergraduate Biological Sciences program. Students taking the Marine Biology concentration take courses, or courses listed as fulfilling various areas within biology (such as ecology, physiology, animal diversity , plant diversity, etc.) required of all of our Biological Sciences students. Within the areas with several options, students in the Marine Biology concentration take the following courses: Invertebrate Zoology I, Invertebrate Zoology II, Marine Ecology, and either Marine Botany or Morphology of Plants, Algae and Fungi. At least one of these courses is taken at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories or another marine field station. Additionally, students in the Marine Biology concentration usually take one or both, one-month winter term courses, Topics in Rocky Intertidal Biology and Deep-Sea Biology. All of these courses fulfill ecology, animal diversity, plant diversity and elective units required for the BA or BS in Biological Sciences, so students in the concentration do not have to take extra courses or units. Courses are taken on campus in Turlock, CA or at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. We use Moss Landing Marine Laboratories facilities for many of the field trips that are part of virtually all of the courses listed above.
