Major Spotlight - Zoology
|
 Zoology is the study of animal biology and integrates information at all levels of biological organization - molecular, cellular, tissue, organismal, population, community, and ecosystem. Classes in the major span all of these hierarchical levels. There are many opportunities to gain hands-on experience in the field and laboratory and to take specialized courses focusing on certain animal groups. Students can earn either a BA or BS degree in zoology, and the major is offered through the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology. A zoology major can prepare students for a broad range of career options, and many zoology majors enter professional and graduate programs in a variety of fields, from medicine to environmental science.
