<p>I was wondering if anyone on CC is pursuing this undergraduate degree, or a degree in Oceanography. Could you please give me some info. on the major regarding why you chose it, what do you hope to do with the degree, etc.? I am considering the programs at Rutgers, Northeastern, BU, and Brown. If anyone has some information regarding the classes at those schools, that would be a great help.</p>
<p>You might think marine biology is about playing with dolphins.</p>
<p>You get to do that for 1 week of the year.</p>
<p>The rest of the time you are crunching numbers on Excel in a tiny office alone for minimum wage. Accountants do the same thing, but they get 2 weeks of vacation to play with dolphins.</p>
<p>Is that what you want to do?</p>
<p>Oceanography sounds more physical and mathematical than marine biology. I think you should look into that. The theory of acoustics in shallow water is highly mathematical and if you can handle that, you can probably handle market research on Wall Street.</p>
<p>I was actually thinking about this as well. Its a shoot between economics, astrophysics, chem with business option, or one of the marine science programs that Rutgers offers. The Marine sciences has several options including marine bio, marine chem, marine geo, and physical oceanography. All of the marine options excluding marine bio requires math up to multi-variable calc, as well as engineering courses. So it boils down to helping create another financial bubble or helping advance the progression of mankind to ensure survival. What to do?</p>
<p>Is there anyone out there that can tell me what the best college would be for me to sign up for Marine Biology. I graduate high school in 2012 and I want to go right to college. I live in ga</p>
<p>If you’re sure you want to specialize that early, UNC-Wilmington has a highly respected program.</p>
