What degree would you have to get in order to be able to dig up dinosaurs?

Question

And i also wanted to be a marine biologist, i wanted to get a degree for both in case along the road i change my mind. Would this interfere with getting a degree for marine biology or vise versa? And does anyone know if the University of Hawaii offers whatever degree i have to get for digging up dinosaurs?

Answer 1

it would be a degree in palaeontology

Answer 2

There is a lot more to paleontology then digging up dinosaurs. And you're going to have to take A LOT of geology classes. Double majoring in marine biology and paleontology sounds like death but if you really love science and no social life go to it. lol

And the University of Hawaii does not have a paleontology program but they do have a geology program, which is a great stepping stone to paleo.

Answer 3

Dinosaur diggers are called PALEONTOLOGISTS.  And the field of study is Paleontology.  Marine Biology and Paleontology?  good combination.  Many of the required classes might cross over, like science department, geology, biology, etc.

As for whether U Hawaii offers both?  check them out online.  Just put the University of Hawaii into the address window, and you should come up with either a search page, or you if you add .edu, you might go straight to their homepage.

Answer 4

paleontology
