BA in Biology - Zoology in Muncie United States | Ball State University

Zoology, the scientific study of the animal kingdom within biology, presents a dynamic and expansive discipline, with our program allowing students to customize their education based on personal interests. Though zoology may initially bring to mind careers like zookeeping or veterinary medicine, society equally requires researchers who can apply animal expertise to understand and preserve ecosystems. Our curriculum encompasses diverse specialties—from ornithology and mammalogy to ichthyology, entomology, and animal parasitology—building a thorough grounding in animal biology. As one of our department's most sought-after programs, zoology graduates are equipped for immediate employment or advanced studies in specialized areas of animal science. This concentration satisfies partial requirements for either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in biology, with all majors needing to complete both the biology core courses and the University Core Curriculum.
