The Associate of Science (AS) Marine Biology is designed for students who intend to transfer to the University of Oregon (UO) and complete their bachelor's degree at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) in marine biology. The background offered by this major, however, is entirely appropriate for preparation for upper division emphasis in other professional fields such as medical, dental or veterinary school. Career options for marine biology graduates include jobs in state and federal government, advanced training for research and teaching in the marine sciences, and most other careers available to broadly trained biologists.
