The University of Mobile offers a major and a minor in marine science. The University is a member of the Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium (MESC), a statewide group of higher education institutions affiliated with the Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL). Marine science courses are are offered at the university’s main campus in Mobile during the regular academic year and at DISL during the summer. Students seeking a major or minor in marine science should anticipate taking at least two courses at DISL during the summer academic period. Although the marine science program focuses on the biological processes of marine organisms, students will also be exposed to the chemical and physical aspects of marine science, as well the legal and safety regulations that apply to the marine environment. All marine science majors must complete two writing-intensive courses within the marine science curriculum as described in the Undergraduate Academic Information section of this catalog. See course descriptions for courses designated as writing-intensive. No BIO or MAR courses at the 100-level may be counted toward the major or minor in marine science.
