海洋生物学学士学位可提供学术和现场经验，以帮助学生为从事海洋科学等令人鼓舞的职业做好准备，例如在大学和海洋实验室进行研究以及为行业或州和联邦环境机构工作。该研究计划包括在Dauphin岛海洋实验室的两个暑假，学习诸如脊椎动物学，海洋学，海洋生态学和海洋植物学等课程。在大一和大二期间，学生完成基础课程，为进阶学习做好准备。学生在特洛伊校区的三年级和三年级都完成了高级生物学和物理课程。
A bachelor's degree in Marine Biology provides the academic and field experience to prepare students for such rewarding careers in marine science as conducting research at universities and marine laboratories and working for industry or state and federal environmental agencies. The program of study includes two summers at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab taking courses such as Vertebrate Zoology, Oceanography, Marine Ecology and Marine Botany, among other choices. During the freshman and sophomore years, students complete their foundation courses, which prepare them for advanced study. Students complete their upper-level biology and physics classes during their junior and senior years at the Troy Campus.
