Question by : Can I major in oceanography and minor in marine biology?
I really like the idea of oceanography where you study animals, and I know that this ties into the marine biology aspect. But I want to get the highest level of education for this. So, is it possible to minor and major in both of these?
Also, if you have any suggestions for what to take to get me on the path to research about marine animals and life, please share!

Of course.

An academic major, major concentration, concentration, or simply major is a college or university student’s main field of specialization during his or her undergraduate studies which would be in addition to, and may incorporate portions of, a core curriculum. The university department offering the major defines a framework for this specialized portion of a student’s studies, including a certain number of required courses and a certain number of freely chosen courses relevant to the major. Some majors in some universities effectively define the student’s full course of study; many others allow students considerable latitude both within their field and in their other courses. The university also generally defines general education or core education and distribution requirements.

Although many students choose their major before entering a college or university, many others select it during their first or second year of a four-year program. Some schools do not allow students to officially declare their major until the end of their second year so that students can experience a core curriculum to help them choose the most appropriate major.

A powerful combination of data from NASA satellites and traditional sampling has led to the discovery of a new pathway of freshwater in the Arctic Ocean. Knowing the pathways of freshwater is important to understanding global climate because freshwater protects sea ice by helping create a strongly stratified cold layer between the ice and warmer, saltier water below that comes into the Arctic from the Atlantic Ocean, according to Jamie Morison of the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory in Seattle. Morison and co-authors from the UW and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory published their findings in the Jan. 5, 2012 edition of Nature.

Biological Oceanography

This modern textbook of biological oceanography is aimed at students taking oceanography, marine biology and marine sciences courses. It covers recent developments such as the molecular techniques (including sequence data) that have allowed a re-examination of the ocean’s microbial ecology and the role of the various trophic groups in biogeochemical cycling, carbon flow and climate control.
Major topics covered include phytoplankton bloom, microbial food web, marine biogeography, g
