Zoology is the scientific discipline dedicated to examining animal life. The zoology program offers flexibility for students pursuing careers in health sciences, animal physiology, cellular and molecular biology, ecological or environmental research, or evolutionary studies. Students can earn either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science while completing this major. While a dual major in Botany and Zoology is permitted, only nine credits from Advanced Hours can apply to both degrees. Note that combining Biology and Zoology as dual majors is not allowed. The program allows customization for specialties like health sciences, molecular biology, ecology, environmental science, or evolutionary biology. Professors mentor students toward research projects in cutting-edge labs, scientific publications, and professional internships.
Graduates entering the workforce directly secure roles across diverse sectors. Alumni hold positions such as wildlife specialist, park ranger, pathology assistant, laboratory analyst, scientific sales representative, research associate, museum collections manager, aquatic resources coordinator, urban planning consultant, zoo caretaker, environmental assessment specialist, and secondary school biology instructor.
