Qualified Drew students typically enroll in programs leading to teaching certification. For more information, consult the dean of the College. Back to Menu Marine Biology Students interested in marine biology who have maintained at least a B average in a biology or neurosciences major and who otherwise qualify for specific programs, spend one semester of the junior year participating in a university-approved marine biology program at another school. In the past, Drew students have registered in such programs at the University of Miami, University of Hawaii, Duke University, and the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole. Through this arrangement, students may include upper-level courses in marine biology in the undergraduate curriculum.
Information concerning possible programs is available from the major adviser.
Applicants must be recommended to such programs by their major department and must select their courses in consultation with a faculty adviser and the registrar. This program is carried on cooperatively with the School of the Environment of Duke University. Drew students spend three years at Drew and two years at Duke in an integrated course of study leading to both the Bachelor of Arts degree from Drew and the Master of Forestry or Master of Environmental Management degree from Duke. Admission to this program is competitive, requiring at least an A- average and an excellent score on the Graduate Record Exam. Students must complete Drew's general education requirements and a major, usually in biology.
