The Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology is built around a well-defined core of subjects that covers the fundamental aspects in sufficient depth and at the same time allow for flexibility to cover areas and applications in the allied disciplines. The curriculum also provides the necessary background in natural and physical sciences, and communication to prepare the graduates for both the industry and higher levels of technical expertise. The curriculum is developed towards outcomes-based and student-centered instruction to help students develop the knowledge, skills, and personalities that will enable them to achieve program outcomes. It is designed with a clear definition of the intended outcomes that the students should achieve at the end of the program. Learners are provided with various ways to achieve learning outcomes such as lectures, participative discussions, laboratory experiments, film showing, focused group discussion, hands-on activities, practicum, and exposure to laboratory, hatchery, and field activities. The learners are required to achieve high and challenging standards of performance established by the teachers. Students must develop a structural mindSset and a sharp mind to tackle problems and issues. They have to utilize the principles in their field of study and advanced critical thinking efficiently to produce knowledge. They are provided with expanded opportunities in learning, guided by the principle that learning is achieved uniquely for every student, recognizing multiple intelligences of a heterogeneous set of students.
