So, My husband is in the army, getting posted at Ft. Drum. We wont move til January, but I'd like to get a head start on finding a school to go to! Im nineteen and in the air force reserves with no prior university schooling. I'd like to study marine biology or oceanography.. hopefully I can do this up there...I rather something near the post..but no community colleges...
I want to get an idea of what's available..but I will def. see the education office right away..hopefully if a school is kinda far, I can persuade my husband to live off base half way between.
Thank you for your help!

Other than Jefferson Community College, your closest schools are in Kingston, Ontario.
The State University of NY offers colleges at Potsdam and Canton; both are small, and I'd be surprised if they had marine biology. Ditto tiny St. Lawrence University, also in Potsdam.
A bit to your south, Syracuse has some offerings, including SUNY's college of environmental science, which may offer marine bio or somrthing similar.
Then there's also SUNY's Empire State College, which offers a combination of long-distance and alternative studies. NY state's Excelsior College also offers a combination of on-campus and long-distance programs.
Your best bet may be to start at Jefferson Comm Coll, and transfer elsewhere therafter.
I know military bases usually have some sort of arrangements with all sorts of colleges; I'm not sure how that applies to your reserves status tho.
Good luck!

To do great marine bio it would be better for you to go to a school in Long Island, but that would be too far for you.... hm....
