I believe URI has significantly expanded its marine biology faculty in recent years. This seems to represent a good sign for its program overall.
Two great options! I would look closely at courses, concentrations, professor’s research and student life. Both have access to open water. UNH is an R-1 University and URI is R-2
UNH includes freshwater & estuaries along with marine waters. That was less attractive to my son when he was looking.
I feel like URI is a little more focused on Greek life but I could be wrong.
Have you visited both?
Both are great options. Good luck with the final choices!
UNH has so many great options for Marine Bio interests.
