Marine Biology

Waynesburg University has an aquatic lab apart from the Stewart Hall, where you’ll observe and study many species of fish and oceanic life. Inside the lab are multiple tanks and large aquaria, including an aqua cube used for healing fish and a Caribbean tank that contains live rock from Fiji. You’ll help take care of and learn to maintain the facility starting freshman year, providing essential professional training skills beyond the classroom.

Stewart Hall, the academic building that hosts most biology, environmental science, and marine biology core classes, has recently undergone extensive interior and exterior renovations to provide the most advanced science technology and tools available. Here, you’ll complete excellent research and work with current equipment.

At Waynesburg University, you’ll learn about various types of marine ecosystems, explore how they are formed and function, and survey the diverse array of organisms found in these systems. The curriculum is designed to dig into research being conducted in each subdiscipline of marine biology while also considering the impact of human activity on marine ecosystems. You’ll help generate solutions for longstanding and emerging issues of crisis in aquatic life.

Florida Tech and CCU are among the best undergraduate marine biology programs in the country. Their locations make them prime places to receive hands-on marine biology training, experiences and to complete research during your final year of study. Many Florida Tech students are recruited for internships and careers by companies such as the American Museum of Natural Science, Epcot, Florida Medical Entomology Lab, and Hubbs-Sea World.
