The degree program takes advantage of the location of the University South Alabama as well as its partnership with the Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL), to provide a unique educational experience as well as experiential learning opportunities. These institutional locations give students direct access to the natural marine laboratories of the Mobile Tensaw Delta, Mobile Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico where students will be immersed in all things marine!
