Combined Honours Program
Marine Biology/Oceanography
Oceanography is intended to be the second or 4-credit honours subject and Marine Biology is intended to be the primary or 7-credit honours subject. The requirements for a combined honours program in Marine Biology/Oceanography are that the students take a minimum of 11 credits beyond 1000-level in two the subjects with not more than 7 nor fewer than 4 in either. Core Biology requirements for the current Marine Biology Program (e.g. 1000-3000 level courses in the Calendar) are unchanged. Other courses currently required by the Marine Biology Program in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Statistics are unchanged; however, the Oceanography Department strongly recommends completion of higher level mathematics and statistics courses.
To fulfill the requirements for the combined program, students will take 2 credits in required Oceanography courses. In addition, students will need to choose 2 elective credits in Oceanography at minimum to complete the program. Finally, students working with faculty in Oceanography on their honours research would be required to enroll in MARI 4900.06 as well as MARI 8880.
