UNB Saint John is one of only a few university campuses in Canada offering a BSc. in marine biology. At Saint John, the professors are internationally recognized in the field and its ideal location on the St. John-Kennebecasis River estuarine complex makes this campus well-equipped to offer this program. The marine biology program is a general synopsis of the discipline, emphasizing on Canadian east coast waters. Marine biology students at UNB Saint John receive a broad, basic training that will allow them to qualify for a wide range of employment opportunities, both in Canada and abroad. This program also includes an intensive, 12-week immersion semester, the Marine Fall Semester. This semester is offered on a biennial basis at the Huntsman Marine Science Centre (HMSC) in picturesque St. Andrews. This semester will provide students with hands-on study experience of diverse marine organisms, including mammals (whales and seals), algae, fish and invertebrates.
