The Scientific Diving Minor focuses on the combination of practical and theoretical aspects of scientific research underwater. It will give students practical diving skills that directly complement the materials learned in the classroom/lab for their major. This minor will provide students with the knowledge to design practical field surveys and experiments using SCUBA. The minor qualifies students as American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) Divers-in-Training. Marine Biology and Biology majors can take the scientific diving minor with no additional prerequisites outside those required for their major. Students in other majors who have taken the appropriate prerequisites may also pursue this minor.
