There are two undergraduate programs in Marine Science at Kutztown
University.
A Bachelor
of Science in Marine Science degree program is available
for those students who desire an interdisciplinary background in
oceanography. The program can be tailored to accommodate the
students whose individual interests are broad, or who wish to
concentrate their course work in one of the following disciplines:
A Bachelor
of Science in Secondary Education degree with a major in
Marine Science is also available for students who have interests in
education. Through this program, students receive certification from
the Department of Education to teach earth science in Pennsylvania
secondary schools. Additional services may be arranged in the form
of courses and/or programs as teachers in-service training, or adult
continuing education.
Advanced undergraduate courses identifiable with a subdiscipline
within Marine Science are particularly useful for specific career
assignments and advanced study. Many of these courses are available
through Kutztown University. A partial list of specializations
involving the Marine Scientist includes:
Marine Biology: larval ecology, systematics, invertebrates,
vertebrates, phycology, physiology, molecular biology and deep
sea biology
Increased educational background typically improves job
opportunities by qualifying the prospective marine science
professional for work involving education and research in industry
as well as higher education. Those completing Kutztown University
marine science programs who have gone on to graduate school have
done well in gaining admission and succeeding in advanced studies.
