Suggestions for Scheduling the Marine Biology Major

The marine biology major requires you to spend at least three terms at OIMB; they can be taken in any combination (e.g. SP,SU, FA or SU, SP, SU or FA, SU, SP). There is no prescribed schedule for marine biology majors but below are some examples of yearly schedules that will help you plan your four years at the University. The staff of the Biology Advising Center can help you plan your schedule and OIMB staff come to campus for advising sessions on an irregular basis. You will be sent an email telling when they will be available.
For description of courses see the course offerings on the OIMB web page, or the UO catalog.
