Marine Biology: Intended for students who have an interest in the study of marine organisms, their behaviors, and their interactions with the environment. Marine biologists study the plants, animals, and protists of our estuaries, coasts, and oceans, ranging from whales to microscopic algae and bacteria's well as studying marine organisms and their biological processes within the context of their natural environment. Ecology and Organismic Biology: Intended for students who have an interest in the scientific study of interactions of organisms with one another and with the physical and chemical environment. Modern ecology relies heavily on experiments, both in laboratory and in field settings. This track is also intended for students interested in the study of animal life. It covers areas ranging from the structure of organisms to the sub-cellular unit of life. Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Biotechnology: Intended for students who have an interest in the scientific study of the use of living organisms or their products to modify human health and the human environment, the scientific study of microorganisms and the scientific study of the structure, function, and makeup of biologically important molecules.
