Program overview

What Cascadia College says about their program:

In Cascadia College’s Marine Biology Pathway, you will study plant and animal life in oceans, looking at many subject areas such as: animal migration of sea turtles and whales, interaction between coral and creatures, and marine habitats such as coral reefs, kelp forests, tide pools, or the open ocean. If your transfer school requires CHEM& 161, 162, and 163, instead of CHEM& 121 and 131, the Associate in Biology DTA may be the better choice at Cascadia. Speak with an academic advisor for transfer planning.
