Overview

At this Marine Biology program from Roger Williams University, students have many opportunities to go into tidal areas along this beautiful coastline, and into the depths of Mount Hope Bay and Narragansett Bay.

There they can directly experience this coastal ecosystem dynamics, including intertidal, tidal pool, salt pond, and barrier beach habitats, on the bay right on campus.

Key Facts

Marine Biology students participate in community-engaged projects and internships during their undergraduate studies, not to mention attending classes held on our boat in the Mt. Hope Bay!

Annually there are over 80 students conducting research with faculty or caring for marine animals in our wet labs. Students are encouraged to participate in research opportunities starting in their first year.
