PRE-MARINE BIOLOGY
(MARBI-AA)

PRIMARY ADVISER:  Linda Fitzhugh (ext. 2863)

PROGRAM GOAL:    This program prepares students for entering the university as a marine biology major.  The curriculum listed below is specifically related to the requirements of the University of West Florida for a B.S. in Marine Biology.  The curriculum also meets the requirements for the B.S. and B.A. in biology (with marine biology track) at other state universities.  Students should contact the university they plan to attend as soon as possible to determine any specific admissions requirements of that university.  Additionally, most universities require one year of a foreign language.  See the pre-marine biology adviser for additional information.
