Focus of Study

Marine Science and Conservation (MARSCI) encompasses the interdisciplinary study of marine systems, their protection, and their governance. Coursework and field experiences will ground students in the relevant natural, physical and social science disciplines, and prepare them to dive deeply into specific issues facing our oceans and maritime communities.  The electives for the Marine Science and Conservation majors and minor, offered at the Duke Marine Lab in Beaufort, N.C., highlight an experiential and immersive academic experience.  

The Marine Science and Conservation major is designed to be flexible, allowing students to build proficiency in many aspects of marine science while affording ample opportunity for specialization in a field or topic of interest. Students can choose to pursue independent research projects potentially leading to Graduation with Distinction.
