Marine biology is the study of life in the oceans—from microscopic plankton to the largest animals on earth, the blue whales. It offers many areas of interest such as the study of molecules within cells (molecular biology), the functions and adaptations of organisms (physiology) and populations of organisms and their interactions with each other and their environment (ecology). What unites these areas as marine biology is the saltwater environment, whether it be the coastal wetlands and estuaries, rocky shorelines and beaches, coral reefs and kelp forests, or the vast open-ocean habitat and abyssal sea. Marine biology draws on other sciences such as chemistry, physics, geology and oceanography, and includes disciplines such as marine microbiology, phycology (the study of algae), marine toxicology, fisheries and aquaculture, deep-sea ecology, invertebrate zoology, ichthyology (the study of fish), marine mammalogy and marine conservation biology
What can you do with a degree in marine biology?
A Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology provides a strong academic foundation for a variety of careers. You’ll be prepared for careers in marine and aquatic science such as aquarists or outreach/education specialists in aquariums and zoos, field and data technicians in research laboratories and government agencies, or a myriad of other positions in aquaculture, fisheries science, environmental analysis, marine policy and many others. Students who want to become leaders in marine biology, or ultimately direct their own research, will have the necessary background to pursue a master or doctoral degree in their chosen field.

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.
It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.
A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):
