Have you looked at Colleges that offer the degree you are interested in?
Here is one for an example of a College. At the Marine Biology Department of Texas A&M University at Galveston, our students have countless opportunities to work with some of the top professors in their field. Our location on the Gulf of Mexico provides the perfect setting for invaluable hands-on learning. Whether it is in the classroom, in the lab, or in the field, our students get the knowledge needed to be successful in a wide array of careers.
Looking at various colleges will give you an idea of what the programs look like in order to pursue your area of interest. This will also help you learning what the entrance requirements are for that school and you can check on scholarships, tuition assistance, etc.
