Marine Science and Ecology

I discovered an excellent article for "Undergraduate Students" by the Ecological Society of America. This article delves into the essential research you'll need to help you select a college and how to begin with a 2-year associate degree. Check out the link here: https://www.esa.org/programs/student-programs/info=for-undergraduate-students/#:~:text=compensation%2C%20and%20opportunities.-,WHAT520COURSES520SHOULD520I520TAKE53F,and520engineering%20also%20is%20helpful

I also found a list of colleges with outstanding "Environment/Ecology" programs, according to an article on "Best Global Universities for Environment/Ecology in the United States" by US News and World Report. Here's the link: https://www.usnew.com/education/best-global-unversities/united-states/environment-ecology

While I couldn't find a college program specifically focused on Marine Ecology, I did find one on Marine Biology. The article, titled "What Does a Marine Biologist Do?" by New Scientist Jobs (published: June 17, 2019), explains that "marine biology is the study of organisms and ecosystems in the ocean and saltwater environments." This might be more in line with your desired career. Here's the link: https://jobs.newscientist.com/article/what-does-a-marine-biologist-do-/#:~Ltext=A%20degree%20in%20marine%20science,work%20in%20a%20research%20position

I've also included a list of the top "Colleges Offering a Marine Science Major," according to US News and World Report. Find the link here: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/marine-science-major-3032

Before choosing a college, ensure it offers all the courses required for your dream career. Then, consider the location and narrow down your options. Next, evaluate which colleges fit within your budget, taking into account housing, commuting, tuition, textbooks, technology (laptop, calculators, etc.), and other expenses. Ask yourself: What grants and scholarships are available? Can I apply for Financial Aid? Before committing to a student loan, find out what types of loans are offered and their interest rates. Determine when you'll need to start repaying the loan, either immediately or after completing college. Also consider the colleges hiring rate after graduations. These factors are crucial to consider when selecting your college.

Tara T recommends the following next steps:

What courses do I need for my career choice?
What college offers all the courses to get the degree for my career choice?
What college is in the location I prefer?
Does this college offer financial aid? Does it have grants and scholarships? What student loans does it have and what is the interest rates?
What is the hiring rate after graduation for this college?
