Careers in Oceanography, Marine Science & Marine Biology

Careers in Oceanography, Marine Science & Marine Biology

Take the time to read through these guides. You will find that most of your questions will be answered through the incredible variety and depth of career information represented by these sites.

This career directory is divided into three sections: general guides for oceanography and marine science; guides for marine biology, marine mammals, zoos and aquariums; and other guides covering all of science.

If you are interested in marine biology, most of the general guides encompass marine biology so look at them too --- don't confine yourself to the marine biology guides if you are interested in marine biology.

One place to find colleges offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in subjects like marine biology is Petersons at www.petersons.com/
