Biology majors interested in the marine sciences can now declare a concentration in Marine Biology. This new concentration provides students with the opportunity to take classes designed to cover an array of topics within the marine sciences, including oceanography, conservation, animal behavior, and marine zoology. No application is necessary to declare the concentration. For more information, contact your academic advisor and refer to the Marine Biology concentration checklist found here.

Undergraduate Research in Biology

Undergraduates majoring in biology have the opportunity to enhance their learning through direct participation in research and scholarship. At UGA, these opportunities enable undergraduates to participate in ground-breaking research, often as part of a team of graduate students and faculty. In fact, many students can earn academic credit while working under an experienced faculty mentor by taking BIOL 4960R or working directly with the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO). The Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Fellowship (BSURF) has been established to support undergraduate research opportunities in the Division of Biological Sciences within the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. The Fellowship provides financial assistance to a student who has not had an opportunity to participate in a mentored research experience (paid, volunteer, or for credit) since matriculating to The University of Georgia.
