Courses in Marine Science

Despite Cornell’s inland location, undergraduate and graduate students at Cornell have many opportunities to pursue academic interests in the marine sciences. Cornell marine scientists come from nine departments and academic units and conduct research in extremely diverse habitats with a diverse set of organisms. For a comprehensive overview of marine sciences at Cornell, see: http://marinebiology.cornell.edu. Questions? Contact Dr. Ian Hewson: hewson@cornell.edu.

Undergraduates can choose a Minor in Marine Biology; students who choose the Minor in Marine Biology will learn about the biology, evolution and ecology of organisms that inhabit these environments and the ecological processes linking them. Marine biology draws from a range of disciplines including organismal biology, marine microbiology, ocean biogeochemistry, and biological oceanography.
