Bachelor of Science - Aquatic and Marine Biology

Stetson University's Aquatic and Marine Biology majors become well-versed in the issues facing freshwater and marine ecosystems. The University's convenient Florida location provides ready access to many different bodies of water, in which students will have the opportunity to visit and conduct research projects.

Graduates who major in Aquatic and Marine Biology gain a scientific understanding of life in both aquatic (freshwater) and marine (saltwater) environments. Senior research projects in this field have included studies of lateral line development in salamanders, the nesting ecology of freshwater and sea turtles, the impact of artificial reef design on fish abundance, the population biology of an endangered species of snail, spring fish ecology and manatee distribution, and mortality.
