Completing the Marine and Environmental Science degree opened up a great abundance of opportunities including getting dive certified, building connections with non profit organizations, and learning about a variety of different ecosystems. I was able to gain hands on experience and conduct a senior thesis project right off the dock about the most amazing marine organism (sea turtles of course). Overall, I was able to grow as a student and find what I am truly passionate about which is conserving our marine ecosystems.

Study on Land and Under the Sea
You’ll learn to be a scientist out in the field, not just in the classroom.
Environmental and Marine Science at Goshen College studies Earth’s ecosystems on land and under the sea, combining biology, chemistry, earth science, and environmental policy with real fieldwork, from Indiana wetlands to coral reefs in the Florida Keys.
You’ll work in two extraordinary outdoor classrooms with faculty mentors who know you by name: the 1,189-acre Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center, and the J.N. Roth Marine Biology Station in the Florida Keys. You’ll graduate ready to lead in conservation, research, sustainability, and environmental education.

- 1,189acres of the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center used as your field classroom
- 12weeks residential Marine Biology Semester in the Florida Keys, running each fall since 2019
- 60years — the J.N. Roth Marine Biology Station has been part of the Biology Department, since 1966

Built for People Who Want to Do the Work
This major is for students who are curious about the natural world and want to get their hands dirty, in a marsh, on a reef, in a lab, while building toward real outcomes. Goshen graduates go on to careers in conservation and natural-resource management, marine biology, environmental education and policy and advocacy. Many continue to graduate and professional school. Goshen College is #1 in Indiana for the percentage of graduates who go on to earn doctorates. You’ll find alumni working in national parks, marine research labs, government agencies, environmental consulting firms and education programs.

Where You’ll Learn It
Starting in your first year, you’ll explore ecosystems in person and tackle real problems through fieldwork, research and immersive experiences like these:
- Study coral reef ecosystems at the J.N. Roth Marine Biology Station in the Florida Keys
- Conduct field research at Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center, banding birds, analyzing soil and water quality and monitoring habitats
- Intern with local farms, land trusts, conservation agencies and sustainability-focused nonprofits
- Join the Maple Scholars Summer Research program
- Take part in off-campus programs like the Agroecology Summer Intensive
You’ll work in some of the most distinctive spaces available to undergraduates: the 1,189-acre Merry Lea natural area, the J.N. Roth station’s reefs and mangroves and the labs of Schrock Science Hall.
