The Marine Biology graduate program explores the study of marine life, including organism biology, ecosystems, physiological processes, and species diversity. Students can earn either a Master of Science or Doctorate in Marine Biology. The program provides outstanding research facilities for both lab work and field studies. Faculty research spans multiple Alaskan locations: Fairbanks, Homer's Kasitsna Bay Laboratory, Juneau's Lena Point campus, Seward Marine Center, and the Alaska Sealife Center. Field research opportunities extend to diverse environments such as the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, Aleutian Islands, and various Alaskan coastal regions. The college maintains two research vessels: the coastal Nanuq and the ice-ready UNOLS Sikuliaq.
