The Department of Zoology takes special pride in its teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Courses at the undergraduate level, for example, provide a broad foundation in animal biology and allow students to pursue selected areas of interest in depth through research participation and advanced studies courses. Zoology is one of the most popular majors for students interested
in a health professions career, and the curriculum provides an
excellent base of preparation for a wide variety of careers or
for postgraduate study. The Zoology
major program is designed to meet the needs of students who
plan to enter graduate school in the biological sciences, to enter
medical, dental, or veterinary college, or to work in specialized
paramedical fields, environmental programs, or other careers in
which zoology would serve as an academic background. |

The department encourages participation in the Honors College, the Zoological Society, and other opportunities for individualized educational enhancement. Several student clubs are sponsored by Zoology faculty members and allow students with common interests to take field trips and hear talks about career planning and other important topics. The Zoology Aid Program (ZAP) is composed of undergraduate students who volunteer to tutor other students in Introductory Zoology. It is a rewarding experience for both the ZAP volunteers and those with whom they work. The department strongly recommends that each student work closely with his or her adviser on a regular basis since not all courses are offered every semester. Majors or prospective majors should also work with the zoology advisory office to plan a program which will meet their career goals. The advisory office can furnish information on courses, curricula and careers available to majors and will facilitate the assignment of a faculty adviser. The Zoology Department is actively involved in the Honors Program, and many undergraduate students carry out independent research projects under the guidance of faculty members with national and international reputations in their fields. Zoology majors may work also for the standard secondary teaching certificate in science. For information consult an academic adviser in the College of Arts and Sciences office.
