This page is for those who are interested in Marine Biology and will like to know the courses or classes they will attend before they can become a Marine Biologist. The simple truth is, there is no easy way you can get comprehensive information on classes needed for Marine Biology because of the lack of a universal curriculum.
Every institution offering Marine Biology have their own curriculum. To know all Marine Biology major classes means you will visit each of these institutions and take a look at their course outlines which is impossible.
What I have listed on this page are Marine Biology courses/classes you may attend and there is no guarantee that all the listed Marine Biology courses will be available in the school you have chosen.
Nevertheless, you may likely attend 80% of Marine Biology major classes listed here. A marine biology program can qualify you for many careers related to research, oceanography and biology, as well as those related to marine resources as viewed from an economic, sociological or information technology perspective.
