The Marine Biology graduate program provides training in the marine biological sciences and draws on the expertise from faculty members in multiple marine and coastal-related fields at TAMUG and TAMU.
Strengths of this program rely upon the international recognition and scholarly work of our faculty. Students in the program are exposed to knowledge and research techniques related to marine ecology, coastal and oceanic habitats, marine vertebrates and invertebrates, marine fisheries, marine botany and wetlands and coastal management and conservation. The program places an emphasis on molecular, organism and ecosystems levels.
The program offers a doctoral degree, a master’s thesis degree, and a non-thesis master’s degree. With a sweeping scope of programs, disciplines, and departments constituting the curriculum, graduates of the Marine Biology program will be well prepared to enter higher education, private or public industry, and much more.
The rigorous coursework on offer in Marine Biology couples the very best faculty and support with an essential learning environment centered on the Gulf of Mexico. Our graduate students leave ready to take on the challenges of research, higher education, policy & conservation, and a host of other opportunities.
