What's the difference between marine biology and aquatic biology?

I was looking through a college book for colleges that offer marine biology. I came to a college that offers both marine biology and aquatic biology. I always thought it was the same thing. Can you help me?
 
"Marine" means saltwater, from the Latin word mare, "sea." Marine biology is the study of life in the seas and oceans. "Aquatic" just means water, from the Latin word aqua. Aquatic biology includes lakes and rivers.

Even sewers and reservoirs. ;)
