Well, unlike many schools located along the coast, KU's marine science degree is solely focused on undergraduate education.\nIn fact, KU is one of the few schools in the country (only one of two in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education) that offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Science.\nAll our marine science classes and labs are taught by experienced professors, and all our research opportunities, paid lab technician and research assistant positions, go to our undergraduate students.\nAs a student, you'll be immersed in the hands-on learning environmental of the Chincoteague Bay Field Station (CBFS).\nPlus, our tuition, even out of state, is less expensive than that of most coastal schools.\nWhether you want to become a marine biologist or oceanographer, teach marine science or help restore coral reefs, the marine science program at Kutztown University is a robust, four-year program with guaranteed lab, research and field experience.\nProgram Highlights: Gain immediate lab experience in our on-campus Marine Science Lab., Get off-campus field experience at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, NASA's Wallops Island, Greenbackville Salt Marsh and Savage Neck Dunes Natural Area Preserve., Attend overnight field trips to Chincoteague Bay Field Station., Conduct your own research and present your findings at biological and geological professional conferences., Learn how to survey marine organisms using plankton nets, seine nets and otter trawls., Learn how to use cutting-edge, industry-standard equipment such as CTD sensor, light and oxygen meters, microscopes, YSI multi-probe water-quality meters, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), a vibracore sediment coring system and CHIRP Sonar system., and Complete required internship/research experience."},"ceterms:dateEffective":"1983-07-01","ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://www.kutztown.edu/academics/colleges-and-departments/liberal-arts-and-sciences/departments/physical-sciences/marine-science.html","ceterms:audienceLevelType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/AudienceLevel","ceterms:targetNode":"audLevel:BachelorsDegreeLevel","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Audience Level"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Bachelors Degree Level"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Intended for those completing college/university-level programs within approximately three to four years where course work and activities advance skills from a lower-division or generalist level to an upper-division level."}}],"ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:InPerson","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"In-Person Only"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery is only face-to-face."}}]}
