SFSU Marine Biology And Limnology Undergraduate Program Because marine biology spans the biological and physical sciences, high school Upon advisement, students may use other upper division biology courses or http://www.sfsu.edu/~puboff/programs/undergrad/mari_bio.htm
Extractions: The Because marine biology spans the biological and physical sciences, high school graduates who elect to enter this program should be competent in a variety of subjects. High school mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and English composition are important background for all college science majors. Additional courses in fields such as geology, meteorology, or oceanography can also be useful background. Community College students who want to transfer into the marine biology program will find it useful to have completed courses such as general biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus at the community college. Please see the ASSIST Web site (www.assist.org) to determine what courses in science at your community college are equivalent to the lower-division courses described below for the marine biology major at San Francisco State University. Moss Landing Marine Laboratories San Francisco State University is a member of a consortium of six California State Universities that jointly operate the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories on Monterey Bay. Moss Landing conducts instructional and research activities on near-shore marine and estuarine environments. Oceangoing research vessels based at Moss Landing also participate in wide-ranging offshore marine research. The Moss Landing curriculum supports a range of programs in marine science. Students matriculating at any of the six participating institutions can take part or all of their graduate work at Moss Landing.

Extractions: Skip navigation Brigham Young University Search BYU Feedback BioAg College Integrative Biology Academic Programs Marine Biology Admission to Integrative Biology Program Marine Biology is a very exciting, popular field of study. It is a branch of oceanography. Oceanography consists of six areas of specialization: 1) marine biology, 2) marine fisheries, 3) marine chemistry, 4) marine geology, 5) geophysics, and 6) physical oceanography. Marine biology is the study of life in the sea. It particularly emphasizes life in the shallower littoral and sublittoral regions of the ocean. In contrast, biological oceanography studies life of deeper waters. The other specialties of oceanography are self-explanatory, except for physical oceanography. It deals with mechanisms of energy transfer through the sea and across its boundaries and involves physical interactions of the sea with its surroundings, waves, tides, currents, thermal relationships, sediment transport, and acoustical and optical factors. At Brigham Young University, the marine biology program follows a common nationally suggested curriculum that prepares students for graduate study. Marine biology students declare a major in Integrative Biology, taking a required balanced core of InBio classes that provides a broad background in this subject. Math, physics, and chemistry are also included in this core. Marine biology classes are taken as major electives.

Pepperdine University - Seaver College - Natural Science Division Can Pepperdine students take courses in marine biology? Yes, we offer courses in marine biology. One is a general education course, open to anyone, http://seaver.pepperdine.edu/naturalscience/programs/marinebiology.htm
Extractions: ABOUT SEAVER ACADEMICS ADMISSION ATHLETICS ... PEPPERDINE XPRESS Natural Science Division Division Home Academic Programs Division Programs General Chemistry Honor's Lab ... Contact Our Division No, we offer a major in general biology. We feel that students are better served as undergraduates by not specializing, by obtaining a strong general background in biology. From this background, students can go into any specialty area in graduate school, medical school, or jobs. In reality, marine biologists are biologists that specialize in work on marine organisms, but they begin with a broad background and have some area of biology as a technical specialty, such as ecology, behavior, or embryology. At Pepperdine, there are two marine biologists on the faculty: Dr. Karen Martin, a comparative physiologist, and Dr. Tom Vandergon, a molecular biologist. Can Pepperdine students take courses in marine biology?

Only by getting started will you decide which direction your studies will take you as you work through high school, college and/or university. It is a good idea to take all the science courses available in high school and in your first years at university. These will include biology, botany, chemistry, ecology, fish biology, marine mammalogy and conservation courses. It will take a minimum of four years to get your Bachelor of Science degree. It will take 2-5 more years to get your Masters or Doctoral degree. During your university years it is critical that you get experience working both in the lab and in the field. Summer and weekend jobs in biology will greatly aid you in creating a strong resume when pursuing a job following graduation. You should consider working or volunteering at a Provincial Fish and Wildlife branch; with the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans; or with a veterinarian, retail fish store, aquarium or zoo, wildlife rescue centre, or natural history group in your local area if possible.
Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Science Mathematics and Environmental Education Columbus OH. Alternatives To Animal Dissection in School Science Classes. ERIC Digest. Until recently, one of the most expected and accepted experiences among students in biology classrooms of the United States has been the dissection of vertebrate animals, from frogs and mice to cats and fetal pigs. Indeed, it has been said that "the odor and distaste the dissection experience evokes have been among the most pervasive memories of secondary school science for more than a century" (Texley, 1992). It was reported in 1988 (Orlans) that 75-80% of the country's biology students dissect frogs. Of primary importance to schools is whether core curricular goals are best served by the inclusion of animal dissection in general life science courses. It has been claimed that time given to dissection comes at the expense of more important topics (Orlans, 1991). In a study involving over 7,000 science teachers it was determined that the key areas of understanding in modern biology include cell biology, energy use, genetics, evolution, systems, ecology, animal behavior, taxonomy, and the relationship of science to technology and society (Texley, 1992). The detailed study of individual animals is conspicuously absent from this list. On the other hand, a major document in the current reform movement in science education, Benchmarks for Scientific Literacy (Project 2061,1993), recommends that "by the end of the 8th grade, students should know that similarities among organisms are found in internal anatomical features" (p. 104).
Extractions: Contact us (Catalog Majors Winter 2004 and later) All Life Science Core Curriculum courses must be passed with a letter grade of C- or better and must be completed with an overall GPA of 2.0 (C) or better. If you receive a grade of D or F in two core curriculum courses, either in separate courses or in repetitions of the same course, you are subject to dismissal from the major. Marine Biology majors must earn a 2.0 (C) overall average in all courses applied toward the major. A maximum of four units of graduate work may be applied on the major (if approved). Each course applied toward the upper division major must have a minimum of 4 units. Courses with fewer units may be combined to equal one course equivalent, if they are applicable to the major; thus, (2) courses worth 2 units each (for a total of 4 units) count as one upper division requirement on the major. A six-unit course counts as one course on the requirements for the major. All courses must be taken for a letter grade.

Extractions: Undergraduate Research Opportunity: Training in Biostatistics Program The Department of Biology provides its students with both a breadth of understanding in biology and an opportunity to explore many specialized areas in greater depth. The required courses in the concentration establish a core of fundamental knowledge in biological and related sciences. Students then build on this foundation through a variety of lecture, laboratory, field, and seminar courses that explore areas within biology from the basic level to current research topics. The development of laboratory and field skills is encouraged through coursework and participation in the department's extensive research activities ( see courses , CAS BI 191, 192, 291, 292, 391, 392, 401, 402, 491, 492). The BA in biology prepares students for employment as well as for professional training in research, medicine, education, government, and industry. The department's research laboratories are located at 2, 5, and 44 Cummington Street on the Charles River Campus. All teaching laboratories are located in the adjacent Metcalf Science Center. The biology teaching laboratories and associated support facilities (animal quarters; prep rooms; warm, cold, and environmental rooms) are among the finest undergraduate facilities at Boston University. Also part of the immediate environment are the Academic Computing Center, the Science and Engineering Library, and proximity to the chemistry and physics departments.
