Bachelor
of Fisheries and Marine Resources (BS)
School of Science and
Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Fisheries and Marine Resources
(BS) program helps students to think critically
about environmental issues, and become ecologically
literate citizens with the training to be
successful in careers with natural resources
focus. The Bachelor of Fisheries and Marine
Resources (BS) program is offered online
via distance learning. After evaluating
both academic record and life experience,
AIU staff working in conjunction with Faculty
and Academic Advisors will assist students
in setting up a custom-made program, designed
on an individual basis. This flexibility
to meet student needs is seldom found in
other distance learning programs. Our online
program does not require all students to
take the same subjects/courses, use the
same books, or learning materials. Instead,
the online Bachelor of Fisheries and Marine
Resources (BS) curriculum is designed individually
by the student and academic advisor. It
specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses
with respect to market opportunities in
the student’s major and intended field
of work. Understanding that industry and
geographic factors should influence the
content of the curriculum instead of a standardized
one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s
unique approach to adult education. This
philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly
changing environment of working professionals
by helping adult students in reaching their
professional and personal goals within the
scope of the degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
