Q: What is a good college in California that has an excellent program with marine biology?
I was wondering which college in California was the best for marine biology. I'm hoping to attend that field one day since I love science and wildlife under the ocean.

A: If you want to be a marine biologist, you'll need a PhD. And frankly, none of the schools that offer a major in marine bio are all that great - it's something you'd specialize in while working on your PhD. You can go into any marine bio PhD program with a biology background, so your best bet is to get into the best school you can and study biology rather than picking a mediocre school just because they have undergrad studies in marine bio. You'll get it all at the PhD level.

Q: Is it true that the California Veterans college tuition waiver program also will pay for you...?
Is it true that the California Veterans college tuition waiver program also will pay for you to get your masters and doctorate degrees if you continue at a California public school? My cousin in the navy said this. Is it true?

A: I think so, but be aware that for you to be eligible you need to be a dependent of a disabled or deceased veteran and have to make less than $10,000 a year (if you're the disabled veteran's child). And it also doesn't give you a free ride, it just knocks off the mandatory fees. It will still be up to you to pay for books and such.
