Bachelor of Science in Zoology
The zoology major builds from the common background of the biology core curriculum, with ample time for third- and fourth-year students to concentrate in specialized disciplines such as marine and freshwater biology, behavior, cell and developmental biology, ecology, evolution, fisheries, physiology, and neurobiology. Zoology majors must complete 32 credits from courses in the biological sciences approved by the department with a 2.00 average. Students must receive a minimum grade of C- in major requirements taught in the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture (e.g., zoology, microbiology, biology, biochemistry). A passing grade in major requirements taught outside the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture (e.g., chemistry, mathematics, physics) is acceptable.
Minimum requirements for the B.S. in zoology are as follows: completion of the biology core courses and required courses in animal morphology, physiology and development, plus advanced electives in zoology and other biological sciences.
