Marine Biology is an interdisciplinary program at the University of Washington that spans the entire campus, connecting scientists and students from a diverse array of disciplines. The majority of our students and faculty come from the Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, Oceanography, and Biology departments, but many students have joined marine biology & found applications for their studies across other
departments such as Psychology, Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Law, Societies, and Justice...even Art History! Studies who are interested in diving into Marine Biology at UW should consider taking FISH/OCEAN/BIOL 250: Marine Biology during Summer or Autumn Quarter and should connect with Marine Biology on Facebook & Twitter. Consider spending a quarter at Friday Harbor Laboratories, UW's marine field station located in the San Juan Islands. Spend your days by the sea conducting research and taking courses with renowned marine biologists from around the world. Email [email protected] to learn more about current offerings and how classes may be applied to UW requirements. If you are still hankering for more Marine Biology then declare the Marine Biology Minor and immerse yourself in marine science coursework and research opportunities. The Marine Biology Minor can be declared at any time (even your first quarter on campus!) and can be paired with any major (yes, even French or Drama!). Email [email protected] to plan and declare your minor with the adviser!
