<p>I am currently an undergrad Env Science major with a concentration in biology. I hope to go to grad school for marine biology. I was wondering if I would be better prepared for this with an Env Sci degree or with a Wildlife Biology degree. I am thinking about switching majors, but I am not sure if this is would be better. The Wildlife Biology degree seems to have more math courses and chemistry courses, which from what I've seen, is something grad schools look for. Right now my degree doesn't require any math, and only requires one introductory chemistry course. Which undergrad degree would allow me to pursue marine biology? Thanks!</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter what your major is; what matters is what courses you take and what research you do. That said, wildlife biology is probably a more appropriate fit for marine biology. You’ll need a good background in biology (evolutionary bio, molecular bio/genetics, ecology, vert/invert bio, microbio, etc.) as well as a good grounding in chemistry, physics, stats and calculus, and maybe computer science. An environmental science program may or may not provide this.</p>
