<p>My daughter is in the program at the Rosensteil School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Miami and it is an oustanding school!! You are REQUIRED to double major. My daughter is triple majoring in Marine Science/Biology/Chemistry. There are only about 100 students each year who are lucky enough to be in the program and their stats are the highest of any major in the University. The best thing about the program is the very small class sizes and the incredible professors who are so available and interested in the students. It is very easy to do research with a professor at the undergrad level. Just be persistent and you will be rewarded with so many opportunities, even as early as Sophomore year. For some classes, students go out on research vessels and the scuba club is the biggest club on campus. Diving is very low cost and you can progress to the level needed for courses in research diving. </p>
<p>PM me with any questions. Miami is fantastic!</p>
