Education

The educational requirements depend on the type of position the biologist holds. For positions that do not involve conducting research, a bachelor’s degree in marine biology may be sufficient. Because not all universities offer marine biology as a major, a degree in a related area like biology or zoology may also be acceptable. A graduate degree opens up many more opportunities. Those with master’s degrees can work as laboratory technicians, research assistants, or in technical positions at public aquariums.
High school students hoping to pursue a career as a marine biologist should begin by giving themselves groundings in appropriate subjects. Courses in biology, physics, chemistry, math (calculus and statistics), computers, and even Latin are recommended. If you are considering a career in marine biology, you should have strong research skills. It’s important to be able to work both independently and as part of a team, and you should have excellent oral and written communication skills. You should be creative, curious, and self-motivated. Summer positions are available for college, university, and sometimes high school students. Many marine biologists have to do fieldwork. For this you should be in good physical shape. Scuba diving experience and certification is certainly an asset, as is experience handling a boat. For an academic career, training in teaching and writing is helpful.
