在这里学什么？

Zoology is the study of animals, from the simplest sponges to the most advanced arthropods, mollusks, and vertebrates. The zoology major is housed in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology, which offers courses in the major animal groups (e.g., invertebrates, fish, birds, and mammals), as well as courses in evolution, ecology, aquatic biology, conservation, behavior, and physiology. Completion of the zoology major will provide the proper underlying preparation for post-graduate education (e.g., veterinary medicine, medicine, dentistry, optometry, or graduate school), as well as for entry-level jobs across a range of animal-related occupations.

Bachelor of Arts: Requirements are similar to the BS degree, except that the introductory physics courses and statistics course may be at a lower level and the math requirement is reduced to college algebra.

The BS degree is more suitable for a student planning a career in a field where quantitative skills or a deeper knowledge of chemistry are helpful, including most graduate and professional programs.

Core requirements include:

• Four specific courses, one each in evolution, ecology, organismal diversity and molecular genetics
• Three additional courses, one course in biodiversity and two in organismal biology, all selected from a list of approved courses

In addition to core requirements, students are free to select elective courses that correspond to their areas of interest. These courses can be either within the Department of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology or (with some restrictions) from other departments. Core courses provide a strong foundation in the most fundamental aspects of zoology, and electives permit students to go more deeply into specific areas of interest or into courses that prepare them for their post-baccalaureate career.

Possible careers

A BA or BS in zoology is a liberal arts degree, and graduates may pursue careers for which a liberal education is the prerequisite. Entry level positions would also be open in the sciences, life sciences and biology. For instance, a student with a zoology major would be qualified for a position as a research assistant, technician, or staff member in a research laboratory or in a private company dealing with biological supplies or services.

For positions at a more advanced level, advanced training at the professional or graduate level is usually necessary.

Careers that deal with animals would likely be of particular interest to those who major in zoology. These would include working in a zoo or with federal, state and local agencies, environmental protection, or the park service. Major universities and contract research organizations also hire entry-level technicians to staff their research laboratories. Positions with private consulting firms and nonprofit organizations are also open to zoology majors, and, depending on a student’s interests and background, might include such things as research or writing environmental impact statements.
