Marine Biology \/ Small Vessel Operations (dual major)<\/h1>\n

The Marine Biology\/Small Vessel Operations dual major allows the student to complete all of the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Biology and Small Vessel Operations, as well as prepare them for a USCG license as Mate less than 200 GRT, Near Coastal (up to 200 miles offshore). This program may be completed in 5 years and is designed for students who plan to work in the marine biology field and may need the capability to operate small vessels.<\/p>\n

In addition to meeting the college requirement for graduation with at least a 2.0 grade point average for the B.S. degree, graduating students are required to have a minimum grade point average of 2.25 in the MB\/SVO program core courses. For the MB\/SVO program, core courses are defined as courses with the prefixes BI, CH, CO, NS, OS, as well as the courses GE221 and EN202.<\/p>\n

The following table outlines the normal sequence of courses taken by students majoring in Marine Biology\/Small Vessel Operations dual major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
