<p>This is just not true. I looked up a couple of schools, and they all have non-molecular options in biology and course work specifically focused on non-molecular aspects of biology (ecology, icthyology, ornithology, biology of invertebrates, biology of arthropods, etc). </p>
<p>Again, the claim that biology would not be a good major for a marine biologist because you won’t learn anything related to even animals in the course of a biology major is false. The question as to whether a career in marine biology is better serviced by an undergraduate background in a fundamental science like chemistry vs. a formal program in marine biology is a separate issue.</p>
