In addition to the core courses and the elective courses (selected after discussion with the Marine Biology Advisor) required for either the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEBI) major or the Environmental Biology (ENVB) major, students who wish to add a minor in Marine Biology will complete 16 credits (minimum) beyond those required for an EEBI or ENVB major. These courses cannot be counted toward either EEBI major for those students electing to complete an EEBI major and the marine biology minor. Courses 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 ecology and evolutionary biology or environmental biology who minor in marine biology will complete a minimum of 16 credits beyond the departmental major. Courses from the Marine Biology minor may not count toward both the major and the minor.
