The Bachelor of Arts in Zoology offers adaptable coursework, enabling students to combine studies with other disciplines for careers in education, communications, or related fields. UNH's zoology program benefits from proximity to diverse ecosystems including coastal, freshwater, and alpine environments. The curriculum prioritizes experiential education, with undergraduates actively participating in scientific investigations. Faculty specialists cover areas like aquatic biology, animal husbandry, organismal functions, neural science, and animal conduct, regularly involving undergraduates in laboratory work. Research opportunities extend across multiple facilities such as the Anadromous Fish and Aquatic Invertebrate Lab, Aquaculture Center, Chase Ocean Engineering Lab, Jackson Estuarine Lab, Judd Gregg Marine Research Center, and Shoals Marine Lab.
