Transcription

1 AQUACULTURE & FISHERIES TECHNOLOGY Effective Fall 2015 College of the Environment & Life Sciences (CELS) Department: Fisheries, Animal & Veterinary Science, , UC Advisor: Dr. David Bengtson, Option: Aquaculture Science Credits: 130 The Major: The aquaculture and fisheries program at the University of Rhode Island, begun in 1969 and administered by the Department of Fisheries, Animal and Veterinary Sciences (FAVS), is one of the oldest aquaculture and fisheries programs in the northeastern United States. Students in our program have come from throughout the United States and from many foreign countries. Faculty in the department have research interests in culture of salmonids, culture of marine finfish and marine finfish larviculture, DNA vaccines, culture of bivalve mollusks, recirculation aquaculture systems, development of new aquaculture species, and environmental impacts of aquaculture among many others. Career Options: Commercial aquaculturist, fish hatchery manager, fishery restoration manager, shellfish grower, state or federal aquaculture official, aquatic habitat restoration coordinator, commercial fisheries, fisheries scientist, fisheries observer, fisheries gear specialist, fisheries manager in governmental agencies, fisheries conservation specialist in governmental agencies or NGOs, fisheries ecologist, graduate studies and research in aquaculturally related topics. Transfer out of UC: Must have completed at least 24 credits, minimum GPA of 2.00, and received permission from the UC major advisor. Completion of introductory fisheries and required science courses is strongly recommended. Must select advisor from departmental aquaculture faculty. General Education (36 credits): All Category MQ (Mathematical & Quantitative Reasoning), N (Natural Sciences), and S (Social Sciences) General Education requirements (15 cr.) can be satisfied by courses taken as part of the major. Thus, to satisfy URI s General Education requirements, Aquaculture and Fisheries Science students should take COM 100/COM 110, and only 15 credits of General Education courses from Category A (Fine Arts & Literature), L (Letters), or F (Foreign Language/Culture). See the URI Course Catalog (also on the web at for a listing of all General Education courses. Introductory Professional Courses (13 credits): NRS 100 Natural Resource Conservation AFS 102, 104 Introductory Aquaculture AFS 120, 121 Introduction to Fisheries, Lab EEC 105 Resource Economics Basic Sciences (28-31 credits- 6 credits satisfy the N requirements and 3 the MQ requirements: BIO 101 Principles of Biology I BIO 102 Principles of Biology II CHM 101, 102 General Chemistry I, Lab or CHM 103,105 Introductory Chemistry, Lab CHM 112, 114 General Chemistry II, Lab or CHM 124, 126 Introduction to Organic Chemistry, Lab MTH 111 Precalculus or MTH 131 Calculus And select three of the following courses: BIO 201 General Animal Physiology BIO 262 Introductory Ecology CHM 226, 227, 228 Organic Chemistry I, II, Lab CSC 201 Introduction to Computer Programming MIC 211 Introductory Microbiology MTH 132 Calculus II PHY 109 Introduction to Physics or PHY 111, 112 General Physics I, Lab STA 308 Statistics
