Bachelor of Arts in Marine Biology

Situated on 130 acres of coastal property along Coos Bay, the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) is a vast, living classroom where students in biology, marine biology, general science, and environmental science study marine organisms in their natural habitat.Marine biology majors study physiology, ecology, biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics on campus in Eugene. During junior or senior year, undergraduates immerse themselves in three terms of intensive field and lab classes at OIMB covering diverse topics of marine biology, with opportunities for independent research and internships. With courses such as Invertebrate Zoology, Oceanography, Marine Birds and Mammals, and Tropical Marine Biology in Panama, it is little wonder our majors consider their time at OIMB to be the highlight of their college experience.
