Marine Science - MS

The graduate Marine Science Program (MSP) is a dual-campus program of the Department of Biological Sciences at The University of Alabama and University programs at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL), a facility of the Alabama Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium. Both sites provide unique facilities to support education and research in the field of marine science. The main campus facilities include a marine algae and marine invertebrate collection. At DISL, there is a diversely trained resident faculty available year-round to teach graduate-level courses that are part of the MSP curriculum, to serve as thesis advisors, to provide support space, and to employ resident students in funded extramural research projects. The library at DISL specializes in publications that focus on the marine environment.
