Additional Information From NC State University:

Marine scientists explore all aspects of the seas and coastal regions, seeking to understand how the oceans, their biological communities, the solid earth and the atmosphere interact. As professionals with interdisciplinary training, marine scientists are needed to advise business, industry and governments on the potential impact of human activities and the wise use of marine resources. Marine scientists work for consulting firms; regulatory agencies; the mass media; business and industry; federal, state and local governments; academic laboratories; research and education organizations; and nonprofit environmental watchdog groups. Major may require additional semesters at NC State beyond senior year. 

For more information please visit the program website. 

Remaining NC State Bachelor's Degree Requirements are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student. Unless otherwise noted, all courses are required major courses and will not be part of the General Education fulfillment awarded by associate degree transfer and CAA eligibility. Transfer guide assumes placement in MAT 271. Students who need MAT 171 and/or MAT 172 should adjust their associate degree enrollment accordingly.

Students may utilize the NC State Transfer Planner in conjunction with this Transfer Guide to see how their transfer coursework fulfills major requirements. Please note that the Transfer Planner does not reflect CAA eligibility or GEP fulfillment.
