Program Description

Marine biology is the study of marine organisms, their behaviours and interactions with the environment. The marine biology major provides a wealth of experiential learning opportunities for students with a combination of wet labs, field trips and project-based courses. This program gives students the opportunity to get out of the classroom and into the sea at the Bonne Bay Marine Station or conduct their own marine project (under the watchful eyes of Memorial University's resident harp seals) at the Ocean Sciences Centre. The joint major in Marine Biology is jointly administered by the Department of Ocean Sciences and the Department of Biology. It consists of core courses in oceanography and biology, and additional courses in various science subjects. Each year Memorial offers a number of exciting field courses at the Bonne Bay Marine Station, located in Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of the province. This world-class research and teaching facility is dedicated to marine ecology studies and has laboratories, boats, a resource centre, aquarium, multimedia theatre and residence accommodations.
