With our planet predominantly covered by water, marine biologists serve as a crucial bridge between oceanic ecosystems and human society, unlocking medicinal, environmental, and technological potentials. While marine environments are essential for sustaining human life, they also face significant stress from our activities. These scientists work to protect and rehabilitate ecosystems threatened by both anthropogenic impacts and natural events. Florida Tech's Marine Biology master's program equips students with comprehensive academic training and practical research skills for professional success in this field.
Career paths in marine biology span numerous specializations. Given the field's breadth, students typically focus on specific areas of interest. Florida Tech's graduate program offers an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating diverse scientific fields ranging from aquaculture and oceanography to chemistry, weather science, and animal biology.
Students looking to enroll in a master's degree program at Florida Tech must hold a bachelor's degree (four-year degree) in a related field from a recognized, regionally accredited college or university (or the international equivalent). Applicants must have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.0 as an undergraduate in order to be considered for admission to a Florida Tech master's degree program.
