Good schools for marine biology??

I like Oregon State, but its Marine Sciences campus is a far hike from Corvallis. I believe that is true of Duke, UConn and others. Then again, at some of the strongest Marine Science B.S. programs, you wouldn’t be taking many classes at the separate waterfront campuses as an underclassman.

I knew a couple of transgender students at UNC Chapel Hill, and they seemed pretty satisfied with their experience. That was several years ago, and things are even better now. I’d scope it out carefully before you snub it – you certainly can’t do any better for undergraduate marine science. Carolina has long been extremely LGB friendly and has worked hard to improve things for T students.

Also, I’ll answer your question from another thread:

Marine biology, as the term indicates, deals with the biology of the ocean – not only macroscopic animals such as whales, turtles, and fish but also algae, zooplankton, bacteria, marine fungi, etc. This is usually considered synonymous with biological oceanography.

Marine science, on the other hand, deals with all aspects of the ocean, including marine chemistry (the chemistry of the ocean, such as the study of dissolved ions), marine geology (the geology of the ocean, such as underwater volcanology), marine physics (the physics of the ocean, such as the study of current and wind patterns), and marine biology. Some programs are starting to include marine/nautical archaeology as well.
