Students majoring in departments other than EEBI who wish to complete a minor in Marine Biology will need to complete both marine science coursework as well as supporting coursework totaling 22-24 credits both in and outside the department.   Coursework to be completed at the marine field station must be approved for transfer credit by the Marine Biology advisor before they are taken at the marine field station.

Students majoring in departments other than Ecology and Evolutionary Biology who minor in Marine Biology will complete:
