What are the top schools that teach about marine biology?

Harvard, Cornell and Duke all offer Marine Biology tracks or specialization. If you can get into an Ivy League school, go there for biology even if they don't have a degree program. For schools that specialize in marine biology: University of Miami, University of Texas Austin, Boston University, Berkley, UC Santa Barbara, and University of Washington all offer top notch programs. However, getting a BS in Marine Biology isn't going to land you a career. You'll need a graduate degree to do research. It might be better to go to a school with a good biology program, and get marine biology experience over the summer (like at the local aquarium, or down in Florida/Texas with a summer research program). Be sure to get boating and SCUBA experience, as well. Then your good background in undergraduate biology, along with these summer experiences, will make you a good candidate for graduate school.
