Bachelor of Science in Biology, Specialization in Marine and Aquatic Biology

Bowling Green State University

BGSU is recognized as one of the best marine biology colleges in the Midwest, in part because we offer a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in the field. You can choose the path that best matches your interests, strengths and long-term goals. A bachelor’s degree in biology with a specialization in marine and aquatic biology is ideal for those with a curious mind, adventurous spirit and a heart to explore and protect the waters that cover 70% of Earth’s surface. BGSU – located in the Great Lakes region of Northwest Ohio – is a perfect location for field studies of aquatic organisms, their behavior and interactions in marine and freshwater environments. Oceans and freshwater ecosystems are the lifeblood of our planet, supplying food, oxygen and climate regulation. Both are under threat due to pollution, overfishing and climate change. The vital work of aquatic and marine biologists helps ensure these environments thrive for generations to come.
