Students who major in microbiology may also choose Aquatic Science as an area of emphasis by fulfilling their microbiology elective requirements with certain aquatic science courses.

The Department of Geography & Earth Science offers several courses (e.g., Cartography, Geographical Information Systems [GIS], Advanced GIS, Remote Sensing, Soil Geography, and Environmental Hazards and Land Use) that are beneficial to certain areas of Aquatic Science and can be taken as general electives.
