One quarter of SIO 199 credit (four units) may be used as a restricted elective but does not satisfy a laboratory course requirement. Students must receive a grade of C– or higher in any course to be counted toward fulfillment of the major requirements (with the exception of SIO 90 and SIO 139, which are only offered on a P/NP basis).

It is strongly recommended that all marine biology majors meet regularly with academic advising staff in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Undergraduate Education Office in Galbraith Hall and with the marine biology faculty adviser to discuss and update curriculum choices. Program advisers and faculty can provide additional information on career and graduate school opportunities. A major in marine biology is an appropriate start for students who are seeking a career or graduate studies in marine biology and related biological disciplines, a career in fields such as marine conservation, or simply interested in the major to broaden their base of knowledge and experience in the biological sciences. Ocean sciences are relevant to many contemporary environmental issues and problems and central to understanding earth-system evolution, dynamics, climate and sustainability. Laboratory work and field trips to intertidal zones, salt marshes, and other marine ecosystems are important components of the instructional program. The marine biology curriculum takes advantage of UC San Diego’s unique physical location along the Pacific Ocean. Majors select electives from a growing set of upper-division Scripps Oceanography courses in marine biology and related disciplines. The major requires a foundation in the natural sciences, a rigorous core of marine biology courses and a unifying laboratory/field course that engages students more directly in the discovery process and in analyzing and interpreting data. Undergraduates in this major will develop an understanding of the biology of marine organisms and the biological and physical processes that affect these organisms, their populations, and their coastal and oceanic ecosystems. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography offers an undergraduate major program in marine biology, resulting in a BS. Program Director: Ryan Hechinger, Professor, Marine Biology, Scripps Institution of Oceanography See the Environmental Systems Program and the Climate Change Studies Program listings in this catalog for more information on those majors. Scripps Institution of Oceanography is also the academic home for the interdisciplinary environmental systems major and the climate change studies minor. Scripps Institution of Oceanography offers a BS in marine biology, a BS in geosciences, a BS in oceanic and atmospheric sciences, minors in geosciences and marine science, and contiguous BS/MS programs in earth sciences and marine biology. There are several introductory classes for nonmajors, and upper-division courses intended for a wide range of students in natural science majors. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography Department offers over seventy-five undergraduate courses covering a wide breadth of earth and marine sciences on several different levels.
Among the hundreds of research programs that may be under way at any one time are studies of air-sea interaction, climate prediction, earthquakes, the physiology of marine organisms, the geological history of the ocean basins, and multidisciplinary aspects of global change and the environment. Today, research and education at Scripps encompasses physical, chemical, biological, geological, and geophysical studies of the ocean, earth, and atmosphere, and Scripps is at the forefront of modern climate change science and education. At that time, the laboratory was given the Scripps name in recognition of donors Ellen Browning Scripps and E. Scripps Institution was founded in 1903 as an independent biological research laboratory, which became an integral part of the University of California in 1912. Its preeminence in the marine sciences is reflective of its excellent programs, distinguished faculty and research scientists, and outstanding facilities. Scripps Institution of Oceanography is one of the oldest, largest, and most important centers for marine science research, education, and public service in the world.
