Dear Denise,
Since I work at the University of Miami, I do know that RSMAS does require that its entering graduate students have a degree in Marine Science. I am not sure about other graduate schools, so you might wish to contact them and find out.
To learn more about the requirements for admission to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Atmospheric and Marine Science, please visit:

Good luck! It's a great place to be, and I hope you are successful!
Dana
