Does Eastern have a marine biology program?
Our biology degree provides you the broad education required for a marine biology career. A number of our biology alumni have pursued graduate degrees in marine biology. The key to success in a marine biology career is a broad training in various aspects of biology and chemistry at the undergraduate level. In addition, research experience is important, whether it is an independent study project conducted under the direction of an ECSU faculty member, or participation in a summer research internship at another institution (e.g., a marine field station). Students interested in marine biology often participate in our Tropical Biology program, or pursue an internship at Mystic Aquarium or with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection.
