The joke around campus is that at one point every Cane undergrad is a Marine Sciences major. I think it’s fairly straightforward to transfer into and out of Marine Sciences. As a parent of a Marine Sci/Bio major the main attraction for me was that the dual major was required. If interest in Marine Sciences waned he still had an excellent Biology degree to work with. I think that the science departments at Miami are easily on par with your other options.

I think that the undergrad Marine Sciences program at UM is only going to grow in stature given the new construction that’s underway. My son is a grad of the program and was hired right after graduation to work at RSMAS. He just left after 3 years to take another postion at another university. The program was everything he had hoped for and more.
