Описание программы

The Bachelor’s degree in Marine and Environmental Science is inherently interdisciplinary, so our curriculum is designed to integrate core concepts across General Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. We believe that active engagement in research provides the best platform for the development of critical thinking, quantitative, and writing skills. Therefore, as a requirement for graduation, all students enrolled in our program have to complete a senior research thesis working with a faculty advisor. Upon graduation, our majors are highly qualified to enter graduate schools in the areas of oceanography, marine science, and environmental science.

Marine & Environmental Science - Research

Strategically located on the Hampton River, adjacent to Hampton Roads on the Lower Chesapeake Bay, the Department of Marine and Environmental Science is ideally situated for the study of marine, estuarine and freshwater locales. Our department utilizes several vessels for fieldwork. The R/V Aquaria III, a 40-foot research vessel built for the Center, a 19′ Privateer, provides access to deep water areas. In addition, ten kayaks and five canoes allow us to access shallow coastal habitats around the Chesapeake Bay. Our faculty have been continuously engaged in research projects and actively recruits students to assist in these projects, especially at the undergraduate level.
