Differences Between Marine Biology, Marine Science, and Oceanography | I Want to Study the Ocean

What are the differences between Marine Biology, Marine Science, and Oceanography? Undergraduate and graduate degree paths if you want to study the ocean, marine animals, or marine conservation. Is a degree in Marine Biology worth it? What are the differences between Marine Ecology, Marine Biology, and Biological Oceanography?

Are you passionate about marine life, want to study marine animals, or simply curious about possible careers relating to the ocean? Then this video is made just for you!

This video explains the differences between science fields relating to the ocean such as Marine Science, Oceanography, and Marine Biology and highlights the unique aspects of each field. I also explain the differences between Marine Ecology and Marine Biology, fields that largely overlap with Biological Oceanography. If you are an undergraduate student interested in learning more about the ocean, then you’ll discover valuable tips on what courses to focus on and whether a major in Marine Biology is the right path for you, or if a broader field of study (e.g., Biology) is more fitting for you. For students interested in doing marine related research in graduate school, this video will guide you through some potential paths and disciplines.
