I am currently looking into potential mentors for graduate school in the field of marine ecology. In addition, I am working on getting more applicable research experience. My plan is to start graduate school in 2016/17.
In the meantime, I hold a B.S. in biology. Most of my classes were fairly basic and not at all focused on marine science. Since I now know that I want to get my masters in marine ecology, I am unsure as to whether I should take some additional undergraduate classes within that field. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it worth taking more classes or getting a 2nd B.S. in Marine Ecology? Should I just work on gaining experience and then close the education gap when I am already in graduate school? Any advice is welcomed!
