I am looking to begin a career in Marine Biology, however I have
absolutely zero experience in the subject. I have a B.A. in
Classics/Archaeology from Haverford College. After I graduated, I became an Officer in the
Marine Corps, which I have been for the past 4 years. I am exiting
the Marines this fall and am looking to begin a career in marine
conservation.
I would like to apply to graduate programs, however I’m not even sure
if they would accept me without having the required B.S. in Biology.
Should I take all the pre-reqs before applying or after? Is that even
an option? Will I need to get another bachelors?
If anyone can provide any advice or helpful points of contact, I would be extremely grateful. I
don’t personally know anyone in the field and am somewhat overwhelmed
at the prospect of beginning anew. Thanks!
