Zoology majors must complete 32 credits from courses in the biological sciences approved by the department with an 2.00 average. Students must receive a minimum grade point average of C- in major requirements taught in the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture (e,g., zoology, microbiology, biology, biochemistry). A passing grade in the major requirements taught outside the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture (e.g. chemistry, math, physics) is acceptible. Minimum requirements for the zoology major are as follows: completion of the biology core excluding MICR 503 (which includes chemistry, math, statistics, physics, and biology courses) and ZOOL 518 or 628; ZOOL 625; ZOOL 629 or BIOL 605; and biological science electives.
