Marine Science and Conservation Leadership
Professor Van Dover, Director
A certificate, but not a major, is available in this program.
This certificate program offers all undergraduates at Duke University the opportunity to supplement their
majors with studies of leadership in marine science and conservation. The Program is designed to expand the
academic breadth of Duke undergraduates who wish to pursue graduate degrees in biology, environmental science,
social science, and policy, as well as professional careers in medicine and other disciplines. It seeks to stimulate
interdisciplinary studies, including the human dimension, using marine systems as a model. It also fosters leadership
skills in communication, management, values, and ethics. Students apply biological and ecological principles to the
study of marine organisms and develop and evaluate solutions to conservation challenges. They are encouraged to
think reflectively about their roles as citizens and leaders and the philosophical, ethical, and practical positions they
will face in these roles.
The Certificate Program requires a residential component at Duke’s Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, NC, for one
full academic semester (fall or spring) or both summer terms. All Certificate students thus become Marine Lab
Scholars and are eligible to become Rachel Carson Scholars. These Scholars Programs offer additional resources
and research and service opportunities for undergraduate students. Marine Lab residence features opportunities that
bring Duke undergraduates together with local, regional, national, and international leaders in formal and informal
settings, as well as special training sessions on leadership skills.
COURSE OF STUDY
The Marine Science and Conservation Leadership Program is rooted in marine science and conservation, but
includes studies in a variety of disciplines – biology, earth and ocean sciences, economics, engineering,
environmental sciences and policy, markets and management studies, philosophy, political science, public policy,
religion, and theater studies. The introductory course on environmental sciences and policy introduces students to
the integration of natural and social sciences and a means of evaluating an environmental issue and developing an
effective solution. A capstone course is required of all students during the spring semester of their senior year.
CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS
The certificate requirements are: (1) a total of six courses: one introductory course (Environment 102 or
Environment 201 with permission, for students who place out of Environment 102), one leadership, ethics,
management, or communication course, two marine science courses (one natural science and one social science),
one marine conservation course, and one capstone course taken during spring of the senior year; (2) no more than
three courses may originate in a single department; and (3) no more than two courses that are counted toward the
Marine Science and Conservation Leadership Certificate may also satisfy the requirements of any major, minor, or
other certificate program. Appropriate courses may come from the list below or may include other courses as
approved by the Director. Acceptance into the Certificate Program does not guarantee enrollment in electives, with
the exception of the Capstone Course.
PROGRAM ENROLLMENT
All students are eligible to enroll in the program. Enrollment must be done via the Duke Marine Laboratory Web
site: http://nicholas.duke.edu/marinelab/programs/certificate.html.

The interdisciplinary program in marine sciences provides students with a unique opportunity to live and study
at the Duke University Marine Laboratory for a full academic semester (fall or spring) or during two summer terms.
The program emphasizes small class size, independent study, and integrated classroom, laboratory, and field
experience. Students have daily access to modern scientific equipment, including a shared-use molecular laboratory,
a specialized library, and the surrounding marine environment.
The Marine Lab serves students in the biological and environmental sciences as well as those in social science,
humanities and a variety of other majors. Residential undergraduate courses are offered year-round (Fall, Spring,
Summer Terms I and II). Fall and spring courses include Beaufort Signature Courses which offer students
opportunities for extended travel with Duke faculty to places such as Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Panama, and
Singapore. Small class size and an island setting facilitate rewarding student-faculty interactions. For additional
information contact the Academic and Enrollment Services Office, Duke University Marine Lab, 135 Duke Marine
Lab Rd., Beaufort, North Carolina 28516, 252-504-7502, ml_enrollment@nicholas.duke.edu; or visit the Web site at
http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/marinelab. Duke students in good standing and with adequate preparation are
automatically accepted, but
must
notify the Academic and Enrollment Services Office
(ml_enrollment@nicholas.duke.edu) of their intent to attend so their records can be appropriately coded for
registration. Information on academic programs and financial assistance available at the Duke Marine Lab may be
