<p>Right now I'm an environmental science major with a concentration in biology. My plan was to get a bachelor's in evs and a master's in marine bio. The problem is, I don't like evs as much as I thought I would. I absolutely love the ecology and resource conservation part, but my school doesn't offer much in those areas. I've already taken all of the ecology courses offered, and I'm only a sophomore. Also, my major doesn't require any physics, calculus, or chemistry, which I've read are really important to have a background in to go into marine biology. Should I switch majors to Marine Biology? I would have to transfer schools, but I was thinking about doing that anyways regardless of major. I know I don't need an undergrad degree in marine bio, but I feel like it would prepare me better for a graduate degree in marine bio than my current degree. My school's biology program is not very strong and it is focused more on biology education, otherwise I would just switch to Biology.</p>
<p>Just because your college’s environmental science major doesn’t require calculus, chemistry and physics doesn’t mean that’s the norm. If you were majoring in environmental studies I would better understand. If you are thinking of transferring to another school to major in marine biology maybe you’d also consider transferring to enroll in a stronger environmental science program? I’ll be honest, I’m a little leery of specialized programs like marine bio on the undergraduate level. Another option is to switch into a stronger biology program at another school.</p>
