专注于沿海生态与保护的生物学科学学士学位满足了训练有素的沿海科学家的需要，这些科学家具有解决沿海生态系统面临的独特问题所需的知识和技能。如果增长管理不当，强烈的商业和住宅开发对环境造成的压力可能会严重影响敏感的沿海生态系统。USCB地理位置优越，可以利用海岛沿海地区独特的物理和生态特征来培训我们的学生，以保护当地环境。USCB的几名应届毕业生目前正在国内和国际上寻求某些具有最高竞争力的研究生课程的高级学位。其他人则在地方和区域沿海保护/科学职位以及生态旅游工作中工作。
The Bachelor of Science in Biology with a concentration in Coastal Ecology and Conservation serves the need for trained coastal scientists with knowledge and skills required to address the unique problems facing coastal ecosystems. USCB is well positioned to exploit the unique physical and ecological characteristics of the Sea Islands Coastal Region for the training of our students in the protection of the local environment. Research opportunities include - Working with underwater recordings to explore the behavior of snapping shrimp, spawning patterns of fish, foraging patterns and communication of bottlenose dolphins. Work at Nemours Plantation, Waddell Mariculture Center and Port Royal Sound Foundation . Opportunities with Beaufort County
