Note:


At least 4 credit hours of upper-level marine-related courses at an affiliate institution that do not repeat courses taken at SAU. SAU has an affiliate agreement with the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL) and will also accept courses taken at Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL). Descriptions and prerequisites for GCRL classes are listed online at usm.edu/gcrl and disl.org. Students incur the cost of tuition differences between SAU and affiliate institutions, but may apply to transfer financial aid to offset the costs. Up to 10 credit hours of marine-related courses taken at the affiliate institution may count towards the degree.

Mathematics (5-6 Hours)


Electives (15-16 Hours)


University electives may be used for the remaining 6-7 hours.
