Option A, Marine Biology/Biological Oceanography.
This option
prepares students for professional opportunities or graduate study in
oceanography or the biological sciences. Concentrations within this
option permit students to focus their studies at different levels of
organization; e.g., at the molecular, cellular, organismic, community,
or ecosystem level. Students fulfilling the requirements for this major
option also may fulfill the requirements for a major in the biological
sciences or natural resource management (see the Cook College chapter),
depending on their choice of electives.
