Our Marine Science program combines marine biology, aquatic sciences, oceanography, mariculture, and practical field methods to produce graduates who can compete in a growing job market, or be well prepared to go on to graduate school.

We have partnered with the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand to provide an international experience with full time ocean access. The University of Waikato Marine Science program is at the Tauranga campus near thriving marine-based industries, coastal communities, and New Zealand’s busiest port. Students will have ready access to a variety of marine ecosystems, state-of-the-art laboratory and research facilities, and some of New Zealand’s leading researchers and science staff.

The knowledge and skills obtained through this program are transferable to other habitats and environmental fields, and graduates will have obtained good quantitative skills in data analysis and display, and Geographic Information Systems and Environmetrics.

The Local Component

conducting fisheries and aquatic science research

The core of the Local POE component will start with a balance of cores science courses in ESS, Biology, and Chemistry. The Juniata coursework will build on our breadth in aquatic ecology and limnology. It will provide quantitative skill in GIS, Environmetrics or Biostat, and Quantitative Ecology. Students will be required to take either Fisheries Management or Natural Resource Management.

The Field Component

Students will take applied underwater techniques and become open water certified in their first year. That will be followed up with scientific diving and coastal monitoring options. Those can be done at Waikato’s Scuba for Science, or during Juniata summer courses that will integrate the SDI Scientific Diver Curriculum.
